I Edited this frog with a lime and wanted to put in on a chopping board but it looks like it is "floating" above the board or not sitting in it quite right....

Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

A budding Photoshopper!

Matt

Lose the drop shadow and work out where the main light source of the image is coming from, then add shadows to the frog only where the light comes from.

You could duplicate the frog and offset it right and down a few pixels blur it and put it on the layer beneath the frog then erase areas of the blurred layer to give the effect of it sitting on the board.
