The explosion reflection in the water is a bit too dominant, but overall this a good chop.

Reflection would be brighter, but good blend.
PS: The sky looks good...SBS would get you a better vote.

Step 4 should be your final reflection on the water, or something very close to it.

nice work gl author..!!

Thank you, passionboy !

Congrats !

Congrats, well done

congrats...

Thank you all !

Nice extraction, but the missing bit on the RH side should be painted back in slightly, and you might consider flipping the duplicate so it doesn't look quite so "cut and paste duplicated..."

congrats...

Thank you!!

congrats...

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.

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).

The perspective is weird. The buildings are only about 15-20 feet tall...Or the guy is about 12 stories tall...
