It still looks pretty obviously fake. for starters it doesn't blend in well due to it's sharpness. even the most upfront buildings don't show nearly as many details. you should blur the elephant a bit. second off the light play is wrong. most of the buildings seem to have a higher contrast and lower brightness. not only should the ass side be lighter, but the shadow on his foot below the stomach should be much darker.
you should perhaps also consider making a slight mist or w/e around his feet as seen around the buildings behind his feet
oh yeah. one more thing. the large tower in front of his head should have a shadow on his head...
EDIT:
another thing: might just be me, but the elephant seems to have a sort of white outline, like he hasn't been cut successfully from the stock image.
sorry if I sound harsh
I get really pissed of when I see incorrect examples of these type of images. So I'm really trying to help you correct it.
