Help making Predator look better in the image

[Tygra]

Hi guys,

I am working on the following image that is attached.

If you see, Predator is behind Arnie, but I am not happy with how Predator looks. I think the colours are matched because Predator is quite hard to pick out - its like he's camouflaged in the image. I have tried experimenting with lighting and shadows, but I am a complete novice at this.

My question is: how can I improve Predator in the image?

IMHO it's a bit too sharp. Since it's in the background, it should have the same focus blur as the surrounding vegetation.

In addition, it receives light from the right while the scene is lit form the left. If we assume it can be left-handed you can just flip it.
