Realistic background

[Bumblebeep]

Hey there,
I've tried my best to put my dog (Luna) on the background with her name. I tried blur, curves, noise etc. to make it more realistic but it still looks awful since I am completely beginner in Photoshop. Can you give any advice on how to make it more realistic? Thank you in advance

Hello and welcome.

One suggestion is to use gradients on the "back wall" and "floor" to generate depth. Also notice that her lower body is out of focus...........the floor needs to match, so add a slight blur to the floor.

I did not adjust the shadow or tail.

You could also experiment with the use of perspective (Edit>Transform>Perspective) and a dark-to-light gradient on the background to enhance the illusion of depth. Something like this (but obviously, I used a different dog).
