Disturbing elements dramatically presented via the strong color and high contrast, but I confess I don't get it. (Nevertheless, I did learn a new word/tradename—specifically that 'pluot' is a plum variety and not a misspelling of 'pluto' as I initially suspected, not to mention that 'Raspberry Jewel pluot' is a particular example leading the pedantic me to recommend a hyphenated title of "Raspberry-Jewel-Pluot Heart." ) There does seem to be an inconsistency between the hard shadow cast by the aluminum spraying thing and the the weaker shadow of the pluot.

when an object is farther away from a person it casts a weaker shadow, closer it casts a darker sharper shadow (the pluot and stone are farther away from the body so it casts a weaker shadow) especially when using a flash
I would expect his chin to be closer to the pluot than his neck and thus evince a stronger shadow there. (Actually, I would expect his chin to be above a pluot stuck into the neckline of his jacket so his chin wouldn't have any pluot shadow at all while his neck would show a strong shadow, even at 6 o'clock where this pluot casts no shadow.)

The edges of the horse are a bit too sharp for the image, especially with the filter effect. There is also a bit of a dark outline where you removed the background. You might want to blur them slightly by using an eraser with a soft edge.

The top of the car and where the hood meets the door are too blurred, and the blackened windows with the strange highlights at the top look like paper cutouts, because they don't correspond with the rest of the car, nor the background.
The paint job is awesome, but the detailing needs work.
Cool concept. I would horizontally flip the background so the clouds are on the left to create a more diagonal composition instead of having everything on the right-hand side.
I think my brother had one of these when I was a KID.. he always said he spent his first year of college money on it.. and then totaled it LOL.. great job.. very fun car!!!
The bird is a bit too solid to look like smoke. It looks more like it's smoking and is about to burst into flame.
Yep, should be more translucent.
I agree with the commentators above, but it's a beautiful image, though.
