ok so i see you used that brush.

good things:

you've developed an okay background.
Your experimenting with brushes.
You tried to add a light source ( used a bad and less effective in a lot of cases technique)

Bad things:

Light source.
Render is not at all blended
The Background doesnt match the render.

How to fix it

Smudge your Render into your background ( i'll be making a Video Tutorial sometime this week on an effective way to)
The use of brushes isn't the best. ( i'll be making tutorials on nearly all the things i say when i get my laptop back )
Text stands out just a little too much.
And try a Black and white version by going to, adjustment layers then selecting Gradient Map and thhen click the black to white one. this can have a good effect if the colors dont go.
The light source is horrrrrible ( no offence ill explain a good way now ) Get a 150-250 Pixel SOFT brush, To make it soft take the hardness down to 0 and then make the color white.
Now just press once where you want the light source, then size it down to about 80 pixels and press one where the light source is "generating' from.

Hope i helped! +rep and Thanks if i did!

Be sure to add the Gradient map above all layers, or did it look bad? I think this looks better. Use the advice i have given. Follow a tutorial then add your own effects, or maybe not follow a tutorial. Just try and use what i have said in your next sig.

kinda bad but im guessing youve just started,
try looking at sum tutorials
the things i dont like are,
youve randomly copied the render and put it in a random place with it blurred a little
focal point/light source is misplaced
and the colours of the sig dont really go with the render

you may think im being harsh but critisism helps
