thanks to this beautiful render from photobucket <3
background too plain?

i like what u doing here with it popping out your bg feel a tad bit too sharp
your starting to get the flow id try working on lighting a bit and also work on some blending of your focal a bit more .

Ps Tips: for blending might be helpful , might not
1st thing id do is apply image with out the text layer.
then take a smudge brush of your choice and smudge in with same flow then erase parts of the smudge that didn't keep the flow and re attach another layer apply image gaussian blur set on 2.0 or something then take a soft round brush and erase the focal to bring your depth and lower the opacity on the brush to like 20 or 15 and erase bit of your bg more .
maybe helpful may not try it or don't just hope it was more helpful then i pictured,
Light could try using a soft round on white set to over lay change opacity this is one way other ways people like to use c4ds set on screen and then they like to use gradient tool black and white or the purple and orange set on screen
then setting in , layer new adjustment layer photo filter . best of luck too you .
