Ultra-Realistic Photo Composite

I have a portrait of a character that needs to sit perfectly inside a nature-scene background shot during a vivid sunrise/sunset. The lighting on the face must be adjusted so it feels as if it was captured in that same golden hour glow, with color grading, shadows, and micro-contrast all dialed in for an ultra-realistic finish. The final look should carry a sense of intensity—think focused eyes, strong yet natural highlights, and seamless edge work so no one can tell the image was ever edited.

You’ll receive the raw background and the character file as separate high-resolution images. I’m looking for meticulous masking, frequency-separation or equivalent skin work, and clean tonal matching so the subject breathes inside the scene rather than floating on top of it.

Deliverables:
• High-resolution flattened JPEG (print-ready)
• Layered PSD or TIFF with non-destructive adjustment layers intact

Please keep color profiles consistent (sRGB) and preserve full resolution. A quick turnaround is appreciated, but quality comes first.
