I've been messing around with PS trying to cut a person out of a scene and paste them into another. How is this one?

Very, very well done. No I wouldn't have known had you not said she wasn't there.

Turn her around and it will be a lot harder. The lighting on the fence posts is the opposite of her sleeve.

Unless you really look at it you won't really notice that the shadows are backwards. The only reason I'd have noticed is because you asked us to look.

Ditto..

It's made a nice shot... And in B&W it's not obvious at first glance that she wasn't there..

The tell-tails are the shadows, and that her hand is more sharp than the grass/wheat/barley right along side..

Well done with the PS though, I've tried a couple of times, and can never make it look even 'glance proof' so to speak. :-).

Cheers, Chris H.

I think most people would never question it, but those sun-angles are a killer once you're tuned into them.

Which, I think, means that even if someone can't quite put their finger on it...it'll feel "off" somehow.

(The tonal quality is nice, though, and I agree with others on the choice of B&W.)

Yep, exactly.

If you hadn't said it was a montage, I would still feel it is off. The fields of focus are to unreal. She's sharp, the grass isn't but the fence is. I would notice those different focus points and not trust the picture.
However, you did a good isolation job and the picture does make a pretty piece of art.
