Nice effect, but just a bit too simple

is nice, but I think you can improve the realism

The idea is good, but your source is blurry and the stick is sharp. Besides, I think you should get rid of the white edges you left after cuting the cane out. Reducing the vibrance (or luminosity, depending on your PS version) and adding some shadows will help to give your work a natural look.

I'm sure that this man is egyptian,lol!

Agrees with Divair

Have changed luminance as suggested, haven't added shadows as there are no shadows of the stick on the original source picture.

the stick is too blurry... imo

much better!

too simple man.. and need more work to realism......more time to work too thx

Needs SBS...

Cool.

Is more like a cigarette color

Sorry but i dont really see the point of the candy cane in this image, it just seems stuck on...

I could not understand little, you could put the step by step?
