Default Just for fun... first time with Photoshop

Before
Braeden Riding Before 600

After
Braedens Riding After 600

I followed a Photoshop tutorial to see what I could do. It was fun and I learned a lot. Any ideas on what I can do to make it better or maybe something I should look at?

Wow. Nice job. Very creative.
I agree about the leg and there is a little skin in the lower left corner.
Maybe try a different background and show him in a lake or on the ocean? Just a thought.

The leg is going to be a problem because it is submerged in the water. Rather than struggling to blend it in how about approaching the picture differently - either keeping that leg inside the photoframe or having the kid emerge from an empty frame (or one with alternative background) into the main scene?
