the image is "painful" to see... which shows that you had done a great job...

so scary and real-looking... the cracks is so "painful"... hats off to you

If you showed the third degree burns and sizzling flesh on his hands, this would be very realistic and way cool!
(Not to mention the missing reflection).

There is a reflection of the man in the water, but nothing at all of the fireworks... Also, the black along the outer edges hurts the illusion. If you go to Image>Adjustments>Selective Color and choose "Blacks" from the drop down box, you can lighten those and make them better blend into the sky.
