Color matching this composite

[petersweden]

Hi

I am working on a composite with three elements, gargoyle, model and city background. How would you adjust the color matching in order to make the images blend together better?

Thanks

The girl and gargoyle have warm colors (=white balance) and the background has cool colors (=white balance). I suggest:
- 'warming up' the background white balance so that equivalent tones match that of the girl/gargoyle
- applying a blanket (warm) color/soft light layer with 10%-25% transparency that will 'unify' the colors

Or change the shadowed areas on the girl and gargoyle to blue like the background.

It seems to me that this is an ideal option!
