Fix the shadows and this would be a good blend. Look at the people on the beach and their shadows

Thanks, i did do a bit to the back and side of the hut but you are right, not enough. Thanks for your comment jawshoewhah!!

You need to add a shadow of the house int he sand.

There is a real problem of shadow on the left bottom of the house, try to put a dark shadow close to the house.

Thanks guys your input is most welcome.

Your work is good..... but lacks of a shadow..... good luck

There is an odd straight line of greenery at the lower end of the left side of the roof, you might want to have a look at it.

errmm.. if you have the gaussian blur on it's own seperate layer, lower the opacity. and/or try "soft light" on that layer. i'm interested in how that would turn out

the image really doesnt make sence to me!

Maybe you didnt do a lot with the image, but the effect is not bad..
