1. I need an account to check the source.

2. It all looks so blurry, at least the focus points. The BG on the other hand looks to sharp. Maybe if you can switch this around it will look much better.

I love this image. Nice colors and concept. I agree with the others if you can clear up the boy this work be world class in my book. Nice job. It almost looks like you used the light filter. I would just try the dodge and manually manipulate the lighting.
