How Can I Improve....

Trying to put in a replacement background for a few shots. Here's before and after on two. Not real happy with the results, especially where the headline meets the background. How can I do this better??

Before



After



Another before




And the after



Thanks for the help

You need smother, more even selections of your subject out of the background - here is how I do it - http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=116223

No. Don't "lose" the flash. Just get creative with it. Bounce it off a wall or ceiling, shoot it through a diffuser, or take it off camera. I will agree that straight on-camera flash is rarely flattering to your subjects.
