    you may want to blur the background a bit to give the illusion of actual depth. I wonder if using the lighting effects in ps may make it a bit more convincing that the lighting on your subject is from a strobe or two.
    mostly Nikon gear

    Feel free to edit my images for critique, just let me know what you did.

    The things I notice are:

    - The shadows don't match the light direction.

    - The clouds are visable on her hair on the left side of her head.

    - The horizon is too low for the angle of the bike.

    The horizon is the biggie with this imo

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Re: photoshop

    Ideally, you need another sunset shot, because this one is from the perspective of the camera pointing somewhat upward, while the bike shot is taken from just above the subject pointing downward - match the angle and most of the other problems resolve themselves, or are not prominent enough to be noticeable. Cool idea though!
