Haha . Although his left arm looks a bit stretched. Personal I think the background is a bit distracting, also cause the stones are way bigger now compared with the guy. But nice one !

Yes, try to fix the background if you can...scale, focus, etc...and fix (blur) edges on your selections. Having said that, your entry is funny as hell, and I like the way you think. Way better than most I've seen.

you are right about the background I changed it I think it looks much better this way thanks for the tips

wazowski [lvl 13] [vp 1000] [ 50]:

You couldnt be more right, author. This kinda background + perspective is exactly what the foreground needed to give the guy such powerful feeling (although maybe the whole foreground could do with a bit more light now, with soft lightsource from up right, according to the light&shadows of the clouds). With other words Bravo!!

Everyone needs time to relax and do something that releases tension,

Very nice job! I was curious what reflections are on the sun-glasses... You surprised me in a good way: there is a boat!! Isn`t it?

wazowski [lvl 13] [vp 1000] [ 50]:

Funny entry. But maybe you should check the parts around the handgloves again (masking) . In case you wanna change that, perhaps you can also use Photo filter (adjustment layer) with a bit more yellowish/warmer (to adjust the background bit more with the guy, who's also quite yellow now)

author:

Thanks. Yes, it is a boat reflected in the glasses. It worked well with what I wanted to accomplish.

Thanks eveyone! I was playing around with the opacity on the fish to blend it with the rest and I forgot to adjust the mask accordingly.

Decided to do this whilst watching the opening ceremony of the Olynpics.
I know the jumper is not a canadian one, but at least the colors were close.
