I would write a critique, but im not a premium member, so i'll write it here.
The edges around your body are very rough and seems like ur using either eraser tool or not masking properly. besides the edges being rough, you got a pretty good general outline sense. another issue is i guess the directional lighting. you have great lighting in the front, but does not match up with the background lighting you have used. that is just a photo lighting error, or not keeping that in mind when you selected the background. the waves look really good, and does really resemble water, so props to that. the glow trail looks pretty good too.
so yea, overall, good use of photo manipulation, just need to clean up ur edges better. =]

xD tis okie. grr.. -doesn't know how to mask properly- xD hahaa this is my first time for a photo manip so... yer!
but thanks! :D i'll google more tutorials on how to actually do the edges xD i think its the way i cropped the picture, so it looks like the lighting doesn't match up. because if you look in the original stock, most of the light (which isn't much to begin with) is focusing in the center of the pic. or maybe.. it just doesn't work xDD who knows! lol
haha thanks for the critique, i appreciate it! ^^
