Like I said in the title, this is my first actual photo manipulation. I didn't do that much to the photo because I was just messing around, but yeah this is what I came up with. Let me know what I should change or do differently (Without implying that I'm sh**)

The car looks okay, but the zombie's lighting does not match at all, keep working hard.

1st: Redo lighting on Zombie
2nd: Cut into the car so it looks like the grass is around it, not that a black square is sitting on the grass, if you get my drift.
3rd: Colors seem wrong, the car shines differently from the sun reflection and THIS IS IMPORTANT- if the sun is on the right, the shine or glare should not be on the left side of the car!!!

Thanks for the feedback man, I know what your saying, it's just really hard to be precise with colors on the monitor i'm using right now.

Manipulations are very difficult, to me that looks okay but very good for your first attempt, blending on the car is pretty good, like they previous person said the zombies blending didn't go to well i.e lighting doesn't match the shadow.

I'll be honest, I had to look at the comments because I couldn't even see what you added it's that dark. I thought you just changed the lighting badly.

- Play around with your lighting to get a middle ground where you can see the applied manipulation but keep that dark feel you're evidently trying to achieve.

I think that might just be you, mate. I can see everything added perfectly fine. Maybe turn your brightness up?
Like a lot of people said, lighting is important. Focus on getting the lighting correct on both the car and the zombie. Apart from that, I think the dark colour correction goes perfectly well and it suits the theme you're going with!
Good job.

Always good practice to link your stock images...

Just so the creator gets credit were deserved.

Look at the light source, the shadow of the zombie should follow it. Also, those high contrast light parts on the zombie are too high. I think you dodged and burned too much lol.

Look at the foliage on the car you added, blend it in properly mate because as it stands it looks wrong.

Anyway, enough of that. It's a good start.

Good job.

No. The lighting is way too dark even if he wants a dark look. You have to really concentrate to see it. It's a fair attempt but the lighting needs a lot of work. it's just a fact.
