Editing in the puzzle

I want the puzzle pieces to be very subtle in my images, so I've decided to use one of the photos I took of the vegetable garden I constructed, but before the shoes were photographed, so just of the foliage. I found a puzzle template on the internet to make my photo into a puzzle, then I photoshopped the pieces onto the edited images.

Selected Photos





Out of all the photos I took I liked these ones the best. I can't choose between the top two landscape or portrait photos. I'm thinking the landscape one because that would give 2 portrait and 2 landscape.

I like the way the shoes look out of perspective and oversized compared to the delicate garden surrounding them, and because of their vibrancy and bright colours they contrast against the green 'foliage.' I want to add in a fake, yet convincing sky in the background so the photos look like proper scenes.
