You have a great layout, only a few things that need to be fixed in order to make the girl look more as if she is really there. Here are some short tips:

-Use the Eraser tool and get rid of the extra stuff around the image of the girl layer. Just zoom in, and fine tune it.
-Mess around with your levels, image>adjustments>levels, and mess around with the saturation (CTRL-U) to give it a more "real" feel.

Hope this helped.

In the background there is a sunset, that means the lightsource is behind the women so she should be silhouette.

The other thing that Bilbo12 already mentioned is that you should smooth the edges with the Eraser tool a bit.

Like nuftsuk said, the lighting source in both pictures are different. With this girl image you have, you will not be able to make it look legitimately real. If the girl was shot with neutral lighting, no hot spots, you might be able to do something.

I'm not sure how you made the image extraction, but I usually use the pen tool to create a path that I can save and adjust. I load the path as a selection and then feather that by 1 or 2 pixels (giving it a softer edge). After that, I click the "Add Layer Mask" button to remove the background. Always use layer masks instead of the eraser tool, because it is non-destructive.

Also you could try using the Shadow/Highlight option to get your lighting / shading corrected and then use the hue/saturation tool to give the girl the correct coloring.

Like most other people said above, The lighting for the girl doens't make much sense unless you have a light pointing at her, and you need to smooth out her edges.
