Drop shadow effect is not a good idea for this photo since it makes them look like they are on top of an image, not in it.

I see where your coming from there. Thank you.

Also it would help blurring the edges of your objects. Easiest way is ctrl click on layer icon to select its contour, then go to Select modify contract by a few pixels, invert selection and apply gaussian blur.
The further an object is the more desaturated will appear, use this to create perspective.

Great idea for the source image!! Perhaps darken the wrists and abdomen area a bit to give some variation to the green tone. The areas added look kind of pixelated like it was enlarged or something. One other suggestion would be to use the 'scatter' and 'angle' setting on whatever brush you're using on the rips and tears of the shirt. This will help randomize the brush shape more. Nice job author and GL.

Thanks for your suggestions Pixelkid!

Great idea for this! Good work.

Thanks pearlie!

He doesn' look older. He looks like he has two black eyes from a fight.

You should do work for the tabloids...they could use someone with your skill. Excellent job!

Lol! A bandaid or scissor strips on the nose would be over-the-top here... the title and eyes, with trim49's comments, made me laugh...

Tried a band aid even stitches but just could not get it right -- left well enough alone -- maybe next time I will find the right techniques

Stitches across his right eyebrow would be awesome.

great work ,love this.

Her left foot seems like floating. Try adjusting the shadow and put some to her dress touching the skin to add more depth. GL!
