The first thing I did was to crop it as I wanted to see more of him and less of the rest. Then I ran some random actions, decided i didn't like those results very much and decided to run just an Eye enhancer and skin softener, both by CoffeeShop Blog. Then I used the "sky" texture by Pixel Lounge at soft light.. I then duplicated the background shot and did a linear burn. (I played around until I liked the effect). Next I dupicated the texture and again used soft light. 'Duplicated the background again I think i blended it at multiply and then toned it down to 50 percent. I did save the unflattened file, but when I saved the flattened one, instead of "save as" i just hit save and it wrote the finished over it... live and learn...
Here is the finished product:
