This is wonderfully creepy! Great job on blurring the edges to match the background source.

oooooh the poor kid nice one

very well done gl author

Thank you very much everyone

hha nice draw

heheh tnx

Very original!

cool idea., welldone

tnx guys

Nice image, but the shadow underneath is too strong for the environment. It is an overcast day, with no clear light source. The ambient lighting makes for softer shadows, look at the stick on the LH side and the bend at the end of the road...

very lovely image.. I come from there.. (Northern Wisconsin.. all snow and lots of snowmobiling fun )

The narrow color palette is dramatic. I don't see any shadow at all, however, but I agree with MossyB that it would be a weak one. The skull in the precise middle of the path—not to mention near the center of the image—is kind of boring. The Rule of Thirds could help amp up the impact.

nice work

For some reason reminds me a bit of Donnie Darko . Perhaps I'd make the guy's shadow a tiny bit darker and give the suite a little bit of yellow photofilter. If you want you can give the guy a tiny blur (you can experiment easier with it if you make a smart object from the head and body) and also add a layer (with blending overlay) with some tiny grain noise, so it fits better with the quality of the background photo. Good luck!

EDIT: good improvement imo

Thank you so much for the suggestions, Waz! A bit of Film Grain really helped. I couldn't get the color filter to cooperate, but using Selective Color and adjusting the neutrals to have a bit more yellow and a bit less cyan seemed to do the trick.

This is looking great. I agree that the shadow of the man needs to be darker. Overall a nice creepy image. Love the description.

Not too shabby. Nice work.

great image, good luck!
