Something is off

[Zysoclaplem]

Sailor
JuJu

And then

Photoshop

But looking at it, there is still something not right. I cannot place my finger on it. It looks wrong. Any ideas? Could it be the shadowing?

I figured there were some good photoshopping folks here to tell me what I am doing wrong.

Well he did his own version, which looks bad to say the best. So I was going to help him. But it still looks obviously fake IMO.

I'm no photochopping expert but the shading between the neck and face look different. But they also appear different shades in the original photo of JuJu (I think it's the lighting and his complexion).

Hey now he is a very good looking guy.

The right side of his face should be darker like in the original pic

I see that now. It does kind of throw it off.

The problem is he has a shaggy hair cut and is in a military outfit, the hair is wrong for the outfit.

He would hate for me to mess with his hair...lol.

Work on the authenticity of the pic, the scratches look to be above the picture and not in the picture itself. Hopefully that will bring some of the focus down to where we want it.

The density of his hair also exceeds that of the rest of the image - it's darker than it should be.

i don't know anything about photoshop but something about the hair throws me off

 

[Quasmo]

also you need to bring up the base level of blacks to give it more of a gray in the pic you imported. Also the line along the hat is very sharp try smoothing it out a bit.

i found the problem

 

[Zysoclaplem]

Thanks for the advice. I'll play with the shades and scratches a bit more. His hair is jet black, so I don't really know what to do about that.

 

[Mrvile]

The contrast of the sailor photo is pretty dull, so I would make the hair less dark to even out the contrast of the chopped photo. Otherwise, everything else looks alright to me.
