Yeah, that works.

Wallrunning was pretty good, however the shadows are a bit of a giveaway--tweak the lighting and it should work fine.

I think you have your muzzle flash the wrong way around -- it should be wide toward the gun, and narrower toward the other end. Also, a lot of the black was showing around the muzzle flash, and it's a little large.

Sorry for all the criticism, I don't mean it to run you down, but to help you improve!

Try tracing the muzzle flash then copy paste it onto the image then there should be no black.

not bad. the muzzle flash was ok (maybe to large), but you should use semitransparence. Paint is not the best choice when it comes to retouching. You can always download "the gimp" that is free and almost as good as Photoshop. It allows to blend layers with any amount of transparency, plus a variety of blending modes (I'd try additional blending with muzzle flashes, combined with 50% transparency)

The wall running did not appear real. It was obvious that the cut was to disguise this character simply bouncing off the wall. It was another case of showing something close to hide how fake it is. Didn't work, I'm afraid.

I'm not sure how exactly you could execute such an effect. Sorry.

You may also want to have the muzzle flash lined up with the gun, not coming off at a weird angle. Just give it a little rotation. What editing software are you using?
