The lighting is very discordant between the woman and the background, it looks like a bad studio set up. The shadows on the model are far darker than the background, and the dark edge along the bottom of the image just emphasizes the discrepancy. Perhaps you can adjust the levels on the woman to brighten her up a bit, or find a "moodier" background that is as dark and heavily shadowed as she is.

Are you saying all the rest of the source pics are your images? You need to place them UNCUT in the SBS.
