  1. I found this work interesting for discusion so I did some light-shadows simulations in 3d software (any 3d software can do this, I do not promote any here) and I rendered two options for you. In these two options we may see that either both shadows of wall and bird are hard (and have the same direction) or (exclusive or) both shadows of wall and bird are soft (and again of course have the same direction). So in this photo of the week in Photo.net the light-shadow of bird is too hard, it sould be softer as the shadow of the corner-wall (and they do not have the same direction, nor same colour). Here is the rendering of 3d simulation with hard light-shadows

  2. Few things more I would like to write.
    When we combine two(or more) photos to create a work like this we should care for many parametres.
    First the number of the lights, the position of the light(s), the direction of the light(s), the colour(s) of the light(s) and the hardness-softness of the light(s).
    Second the perspective that depends on the distance between the subject(s) and the point of view.
    Third the smooth cut of edges of the subjects that we will paste one over the other.
    Sometimes it really helps to make a simulation of the final work with smaller scale models or with 3d software.
