New clothes with an attitude

Five years old and excited about starting kindergarten. She loves to pose if you can get her to stand still long enough. I think she is always in perpetual motion. What happens to that energy when we get older. Fun playing/learning to use my virtual background machine. Each change of clothes used a different background.

I only see little empty boxes.

Not sure how the machine works, but the backgrounds in these shots have less contrast and saturation than the subject, which makes it obvious that they are not real. Perhaps some of your key light was spilling onto the screen (if there is a screen)? If you could resolve that issue I think you'd get more convincing results. You could also try pulling your subject farther from the background and using a wider aperture to throw the backgrounds more out of focus.

+ there's also evidence of less than ideal montaging.

1 Above her right forearm
2 Neck / upper dress on her right
3 Massive chunk along the top of her L forearm
4 Her right shoulder

Also got to be (very) aware of horizon position / scale (size) of subject too.

Thank you for your comments and observations. The montaging is actually shadows and I am working on why that occured and make corrections. The contrasts of the backgrounds were caused by stopping the background down to correct the tendancy to overexpose and I guess I did it to much.
