I used the magic wand and quick selection tools since the background and main object (Hudson, my godson) were pretty distinct from the main object for the most part.
What blending options did you use? I used the refine edge and a few color adjustment tools (variations, saturation, color balance) for the major blending. I also used a little bit of, blurring, burning and lighting effects to match the quality and lighting direction of the background. To blend the area where Hudson is standing, I used the magic wand tool to copy some of the grass/flowers on the ground and place it around his feet. And, just for fun, I copied the crown from Max's head, rotated it and blended it, and placed it on Hudson's head.
Do you believe your composite appears to belong in the background you placed?
I think it looks pretty close to believable. I feel like the contrast and sharpness could be better but I ended up making it worse every time I tried to fix it :P
It's so adorable! I love it!
