A creative idea. The figure in URC is well blended and placed. The woman on the left would be more connected to the "vision" if placed more into the frame and closer to it. Also the white fringe on her hair makes it look pasted in.

I agree with Ruth. When cutting and pasting to make composite images, you generally want to feather the selection a little, or somehow soften the selection/masking tool/brush, in order to prevent obviously artificial edges. Also, once the composite is all pasted together, but before the image is flattened, it helps to adjust the color balance and saturation of each component so that they match each other.

It's a really good idea and so I agree with the above. I don't know about you, but is it just me, or does the girl look exaclty like her face could have been the model for the angel? Push her bangs back, take off her eye make up and she could be! Just an observation. '0)

Thank you all for your comments, the fact is that I do not know well the photoshop but I learn it day by day, this is a photo of my daughter and I removed the background by adding black colour with the paint bucket, and in the right corner I added detail of a painting made by me (I copied a picture of Dominicos Theotokopoulos), any way thank you again

Beautiful composition, Maria...
And beautiful daughter...
I think it is an allusion to the Lourdes Madonna, true?

Belle composition, Maria...
Et belle fille...
Je pense que c'est une allusion à la Vierge de Lourdes, vrai?

Ομορφη συνθεση, η Μαρια...
Και ομορφη κορη...
Νομιζω οτι ειναι ενας υπαινιγμος για την Lourdes Madonna, αληθεια?

Thank you Pietro for your comment, no this is not the Lourdes Madonna, this is the regreting Magdalena
