There is no light from the Robin. When I took it there was white cloud behind it, that is the 'light'. It's just 2 photos merged together with nothing else done apart from the Happy Christmas. Both photos are on my flickr site. However thanks for the opinion & Happy Christmas.

You obviously don't understand what I meant!
The shadow on the Robins breast shows that the Robin was lit from above and left at the time of shooting, whilst the shadow on the car is on the left meaning that the car has been lit from above and the right. Thus the two do not share the same lighting which thus gives a contrived look.
It is important when manipulating images that the lighting used for each of the images work together otherwise it is obvious that it is a fraud.
Sorry, but that is just how it is.
Happy Christmas to you too!

Ahh! with you now. So if I turn the Robin around, (make him face to the left) the light would be correct?

It would be better lit, but not too sure about the composition then, it may work though!

Sorry, that does absolutely nothing for me, there's absolutely no focus to the images or reason for them being together.

Sorry, don't take me wrong, I just personally don't like things like that. I'm not coming from a technical perspective because I'm rubbish at photography!!

That's exactly why I did it. The 2 photos are my most viewed by coincidence, so I just merged the 2 together using a free 1995 'livepix' programme & added Happy Christmas. Just a simple bit of Yuletide fun.

I have used Photoshop in the past & will in the future, but I don't have it at the moment. I do keep for quickness a programme that I got in a magazine for Free in about 1995 called 'Live pix'. It is amazingly quick & easy to use, no complicated manovers like Photoshop etc. If you can download 'Livepix' it will get you into the basics of merge etc, a great programme to have.

Nice bit of xmas fun - as said, I think Lulu would have complained if this was the way her recent "photoshopping" was done, but I like the idea - it'd be great on the front of a personalised christmas card to peeps just for a bit of fun!

I'm no christmas grinch but that is so excessive I think that alone would be reason enough for me to move else where! Like the photo though.
