Absolutely, positively yes. The cross chest belt and the tan wide belt.

Look for details and flaws in the original and you'll see them on the photoshopped photo. It's pretty damn obvious but then again I'm a professional. It's not a bad photoshopped picture, but when comparring it to the original you can see items were taken from the other photo.

Well, in this case, it's how the light sets on different objects. On his left side (our right) of the tan belt, there is a shadow from where the cloth hangs in front of the belt, which would mean that the light is coming from the left side(our right). Though you don't see any remote shadow on the right side of his face(our left), it looks like it was done in a studio. And in studios they typically try to make light even, not realistic. But it's really just that it doesn't look like it fits in the picture, especially the baldric. Hope that helps
It also looks like he brighted and lowered contrast on the fur.

I am not a expert with Photoshop, but it looks that way to me.

Sorry If I sound pompous, but there's nothing to learn. The mind knows what looks real, and what's not. That just don't look right. Subtle signs such as light falling inconsistently aren't things you need to read off a catching fake photoshop checklist. Neither are unatural demarcation lines between subjects and backgrounds... your mind knows what real life looks like, and that don't look like real life.
....Though I could be wrong :rolleyes

The first thing I noticed even before scrolling down to see the second image is the 'fuzz' around by the hair and the hat. As someone else mentioned, the lighting on the character does not math with the background.

Well, the background is obviously fake, but sparrowfan wasn't asking that, he was asking if the pieces from the second picture were copied in the first picture. And I don't have some "outing fake photoshop" handbook, I was just trying to help the guy out.

Thanks for the pointers guys, I think it was more the fact that everyone considered it a bad Photoshop (in regards to the belt parts) that spurred me on to ask the question...so would it be actually possible to manipulate the shadows/highlights on the belt to make it look less prominent and obvious for you guys and turn it around into being a good Photoshop? (Bearing in mind we're all still talking about the belts/buckles/whatever again and not the background)
Also is there any particular reason why someone would bother to Photoshop a belt in? Are the buckles rare or something?

They are the originals, that's why they'd photosop them. And there's only so much that can be done with photoshop, I've developed a pretty keen eye over the years, so it's typically pretty hard to fool me. So it kind of depends

The shine more than anything gives it away. Bad bad and more bad.
