Congratulations! This is one of the rare photomanips that I like. But that isn't as important as the fact that I believe this piece has an actual social value. Over-consumerism is everywhere, brands literally hunt us wherever we go, and everything is being mass-produced in China, Vietnam, Taiwan..you name it. You did a god job with composition, colours choice and contemporary subject choice. This piece is dynamic and you can sense a lot of movement happening.
What I really don't like is the lack of effort made to create a higher quality image. It puts your great idea in a shadow and that is going to prevent people from buying prints. Personally, I would enjoy this as a poster on my wall, but with this quality I wouldn't even consider buying it. The other thing - texture. Stencils need wall texture, that's just way too obvious. Like this, it looks more like a sticker and not a very good one. But I think you can improve these downsides and introduce us to an amazing piece of art.

Good luck.
