I urge you to begin using photographs differently. Artistic expression is based on technique, composition, and light. By copying a photograph you are surrendering the control of light to a camera, mechanical implement which does not see like human eye sees, and has different registration of perspective and color. By copying a photograph you did not take yourself, you are also surrendering your control of composition to someone else's camera, leaving you only the technical task of rendering.
You will learn more and improve your artistic ability faster if you stop copying photographs and begin using them for reference - interpreting and checking difficult points, but not by serving as a copyist to someone else's work. Copying an original by good artist may have learning merit because it helps to absorb the master's technique and feeling of light. A photograph (or reproduction of master's work) is not going to lend you these.
There is much more to art than what photographs and photo paint-overs may imply. Learn to see on your own, without aid of the camera - you will discover a new world of light.
Have courage to abandon the ugly photographic crutches and draw freehand. If you do not feel ready, books by Andrew Loomis (fineart.sk) can lend you sound drawing method and raise your understanding of form, as they did for three generations of artists.
Good luck on your way of discovering the joy and impact of freehand drawing for yourself.
