To me, for some reason, the bird doesn’t look right on the concrete. Maybe on a branch with trees nearby. The last one has lavender splotches on both sides.

On close inspection there are lots of issues.

Can you explain? My process wass fairly straight forward. Selected the fird on the roof and pasted it on top of the cloud photo. The fasic bird photo \was lightly oroicessed in PS.

As another commentor pointed out, there is something wacky about #3. There are pink/purple splotches on the left side and the upper right corner of the photo as posted. I'm not a pixel peeper, they are very obvious. If it was my photo, I would be more concerned about getting some light on the bird's face so his eyes were more visible, and not worry about a blue sky background. I'm not a postprocessor, but have no problem with replaced skies et. all. It's just not for me!
