Is there anything, besides re-taking the photo that I could have done better here.... photoshop editing purposes.

What I am looking for is ways to make some areas blend in more. I am a noob to photoshop. Lasso and eraser tool are my favourite. Anything else gets complicated for me, so do explain if you have other ideas.

I'd also like to know the good things about this.

you are obviously better at PS than i am

The second person from the left doesn't look it it fits in the photo by the skin tones.

Yes! That's the one that was "over exposed" just a little. It was tough taking pictures because it was really windy and the clouds were moving in front of the sun all the time. Any way that I could make that one better perhaps?

You could change the brightness on each one of them.
Do you have each of them as separate layers?
If they are then it shouldn't be hard.

I just thought of the idea.... does it still look out of place?

Edit: Just realized it brings out a lot of extra-error in the photo when I darken it. Haha. I'll have to remove it.

It looks better but if you look too closely which I am sure most ppl don't you can still see the harsh contour of her right arm.
Maybe you could just soften the edges on that arm and make it slightly darker.

Yeah, I don't think I'm able to fix it. I am planing to print it 16 x 20 for a Christmas gift to her... but if you can see noticeable things like lines etc it's not worth printing. I also would like to find out what her favourite is of all the ones I've put together before I put so much work into finding / fixing all the mistakes

ohh. So that's why you are so fussy with the blending part cuz I thought just viewing them online shouldn't be any problem. Well if you want you can send a PSD file to me and I may will be able to blend them in a little better.

That's fine, I am willing to learn on my own
