Nothing really goes together. Honestly, the blending is pretty bad. It looks like a bunch of images you got from different places just kind of faded together, rather than one entire united landscape. You need to adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, and vibrance of each element so that they all match. Look at Big Daddy's colors and contrast and compare it to the broken down building on the left. Also, everything has a small border that you need to get rid of. Look at the brown around Big Daddy's fist. Also, like you said, the lighting is very strange. Look at the top right of the building. It's so bright despite the background being so dark. And look at Big Daddy ... He is like super bright on the side and there is no light source. Furthermore, everything is really ... fadey. Don't blend by using the eraser tool on 0 hardness and just fade things out. It makes it really hard to tell what's going on. I don't understand what is going on near Big Daddy's feet at all. No clue.
If this was touched up it could look great, though! Keep at it.
