Does the head and leg look to fake? Should I leave the tree branch and leg like it was?
Thanks.

Head replacement looks fine, leave the foot up as it looks more natural.

the head looks fine, but I agree about the leg. He looks strange standing there while she's walking.

I like the toned one over the color, Frank, and agree with everyone else on the leg.

I was just going to say that he looks like he is standing there gazing ahead and she is definitely moving. Otherwise I would have said both, but I think the head definitely leave the leg as is...
That is a beautiful shot by the way!

Thanks so much everyone! Sometimes I can never tell if I went too far. I appreciate all the comments. So the winner is, toned, head fixed, leg left as it was.
Thanks again, I will post some more from this wedding soon.

definitely the sepia... the edit is much less noticable.

Frank, I prefer the original leg. The fake head looks ok, but the hairline to me seems too straight or something. My 2 cents!

I think you've done pretty well given what you have to work with here, but I think the head does look fake. The branch is too distracing in the original, but o the edited version his hairline wraps all the way around his head, and there's no hint of an ear on either side. It just looks weird to me. Perhaps if you sample from an entirely different image you may be able to replace some of those features, but as it is, I wouldn't go with it...
