I'm trying to add a picture of a shed to a picture of my back yard. I've selected the shed I want, removed the background and inserted as a layer over the picture of my backyard.
My question now is, how can I change the perspective so that the shed doesn't look like it's floating in the air? I've played around with the perspective tool and I've searched forever to try and find something that addresses this specifically but cannot find what I need. I've attached a pic for reference. Any help or links that you can provide is much appreciated.
Thanks!

First change you need is:
set light and shadow of the shed according to the brush in the foreground
(light source is on the left side)
Second change is:
modify the aspect of the grass close to the shed (it's too uniform)
in front of the door place a bit of grit (a path?)

I agree with dinasset.
Adding shadows to an otherwise flat looking object, or in your case, an added no object.
Can give it the illusion of the perspective you want.
Strategically placing a some grass along the bottom of the shed.
Would also assist in blending it in better, so it doesn't appear out of place.

Something like this.
