Specific Move person into background

[UmarSharif]

Hi guys,

I have 2 photos on this drive https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1et-NiP3TqjFbMGKYELFGxOaZBLbKEqvc

1. Background
2. Person (both the DNG format and JPG)

I am trying to move the person into the empty background. Ideally using the .DNG version for the person as that contains the most details, the JPG I uploaded as plan B because I know some people have trouble importing a .DNG into Photoshop.

Just a note, I was the one having issues with the DNG file. It opens very dark. Admittedly, I did not spend time on troubleshooting the problem. Perhaps others will not have the same issue!

Here's what I get.......

Thanks for that @kabak

The main issue I’m having is trying to make the new image look natural, like the person belongs in that frame. Because the lighting is different between the 2 photos and the edges are also a bit tricky when moving the person.. basically I found moving the person is easy, but making the result look credible - a whole different ballgame..

Ok
thank you for your comments.
The good news is that many better people than me will succeed where I failed.

Ok I think I worded that the wrong way. That wasn’t a comment on your result but just rather me saying all my attempts failed miserably for different reasons - yours is miles above anything I’ve been able to do

You've done a very good job. The guy looks natural like he was posing for the photographer.
But something was bothering me more and more. Until I saw that the person was wearing the same shoes twice.
The problem now is that there is only a small piece of the left shoe in the photo, but still not enough to work with.

 

[IamSam]

The subjects left foot is wearing a right side shoe. The shoes in the reflection are not in the right position. The reflection needs to be set back further to match the subjects standing position. Also, there is no shadow. Based on the shadows from the glass and railing, there would be a strong shadow coming off the subject as well.

Made a try, I made the subject closer to the camera to avoid fixing the majority of the complications XD

Mr. Argos has just offered a beautiful version.
So much the better As for me, here are some fixes) to the best of my inability to do better.
