What do you think of enhanced pictures

[Rogerthat]

Just messing around with some different backgrounds and Photoshop editing techniques,I am still learning,
anyway what do you all think of these enhanced pictures?
Cool, too artificial? Please let me know so I can decide to continue to tweak or scrap this idea entirely.

I like the parrot ones but I am a purist so I would have prefered the original photos!!

hanks for the compliments guys.

Really would love some tips on how to blend layers naturally without making the foreground layer too transparent, that is my major difficulty.

Time to scrap the parrot I think, though it is different.
Guess the bird swallowing that watch is not too realistic.

In all seroiusness though please feel free to critize or add tips.
I have only had photoshop a couple of weeks and really just recently improved my picture taking which before was awful so I am anxious to learn.

i really liked the breit blended in the waves n hublot in the clouds (4th n 5th from top). they were imaginative n had a well-blended look to them. it was more like a magazine ad, where you're selling the fantasy above n beyond the watch itself. a different slant n perspective, which is not altogether easy in a forum like this with so many great photographers. nice job IMO.
