It's not really a banner, looks like a sig so I'll critique it as such.
That stock has a lot of potential for flow and depth but you didn't achieve either.
The background sucks :/. Need a stronger liquify effect to be more effective. It should probably go with the flow too, but it's doesn't.
The render needs to be more blended with the background. Try erasing the outer edge of render to achieve it.
Use some light blur in places on the render away from the focal to create depth. Sharpening the render helps too.
Needs lighting. Create a light source in a place that makes sense depending on the render.
