C&C please.

I would pick a different text first of all. The render also needs to be blended in, and maybe add a color balance to the whole thing so that the render matches the color scheme a bit more.

try differant font mate, and your render looks like it has 30% opacity if so turn it about 46% more.

The render is set at 100% opacity. I desaturated the render, then duplicated the bg, put the duplicate on top of the render, and set that layer to soft light. Then I added another layer of brushing around the render to blend it more. I also feathered the edges.
