Blending: The background has a blurred crystalline look which doesn't make the render look like it's actually in the scene; it creates too much contrast. The render looks slapped on in parts, and perfect in others. Be more consistent.
Flow/Focal: While the render has flow, you didn't utilize it here and the result is a lack of a more concrete focal. It's still obvious what you want us to look at, but our eyes will wander.
Lighting: Lighting here is way off. The lighting on here head reflects and opposite direction of the lighting from the sun in the background. Make the two match using burn/dodge if necessary. (light on head is top center-slightly left, light in bg is top right) Skin areas of the render are too bright.
Placement: The render is basically centered and contradicts the rule of thirds (but I can care less about this one)
Text: Placement is good, text is solid.
Overall: 4/10 for the fact that it was render + stock and missing basic components.
