This is really not bad for a first-time-manipulation. And yes there are some major mistakes you did. For your character fits the environmental occurences take a deep sight to the photo. Which is the commen color mood? Remember, when you see something you only see the reflection of the environmental light. Thus, you have to calibrate the color balance of your wolf two the environmental needs. A little bit brown-green would help.

From wich side comes the light? It comes from the left. Thus, the shadow of your wolf has to fall to the right side not to the left side.
Try to remove the white fringe at the paws. And don't forget, every being has wheight. So the paws has to sink slightly into the ground. The ones of your wolf don't. To create that illusion create a new transparent layer over the wolf and copy some ground into it and erase those parts you don't need. You'll see, the wolf then seems to really sit on the ground.

Ok, I think that's enough for the time being.

And please forgive my bad english for I am not a native english speaker.

Good luck with your further attempts and kepp trying. :-)
