Great job ged!

While present in the earlier versions, it becomes evident in Chris's version that the subjects look cut out and pasted to the BG. Perhaps some minor blending on the hard edges. The BG is uniform and consistent from top to bottom which adds to the cut and pasted look as well. Maybe a gradient would help.

Thank you Sam

I think I was to trigger happy with the clone stamp tool cleaning up the background and maybe rushed it a bit, I'll try your suggestions later when I get home!

Thanks again

Hi Sam/Chris

Took on board what you guys said and decided just to repair the background and gave it a slight sepia tone as Chris suggested. I think it looks more natural now! both your comments would be most appreciated

Much more natural! Definitely does not look cut and pasted! All the hard edges have been dealt with accordingly. Great job!
