Nice work and the kind of Photoshop we are after for this contest. Just small changes to remove something that is annoying. Not a total change of the image.

Very nice pic that the Photoshop definitely helped. I'm sure they were pleased with it.

Discrete but efficient work !

Congratulations on 1st place. a beautiful image and well done PS.

Maybe some already know the story, but I would like to share with you an SBS that combines with this picture, or at least could help to unravel one of the greatest secrets of photography ...

LOVE your SBS !!!

You could be more careful with the foreground & background selection.This is a cross bike(minature)...So this should be placed on dirt to be more realistic.Now...for the sunset you would use the same poster you used in this photo with the difference that you would place it far from the bike(it would be blured in the background & i would look like real).I don't know what are you shooting with but don't place your object THAT close to your camera lens because some spot's (of the bike) are out of focus(OOF).Try to find your camera's focus range.

The hyperfocal distance is the closest distance at which a lens can be focused while keeping objects at infinity acceptably sharp; that is, the focus distance with the maximum depth of field.You can do this on a table.Take some paper & put some dirt(from your garden)on it.Then place your bike on the dirt & your poster in the background.Then see from your camera how does it looks (the whole set up) & make the corections that you like.At least thats how i would shoot this photo!This is only my opinion author & i hope i helped.I wish you good luck!!!

Great attempt
