Hi,
First, pick up Photoscape - it's also free and it has a lot of effects. Next take your figure out of the tunnel, and give him some colour - maybe a deep red. Your cover is grey - there's no other way to put it. Since the figure has to be darker than the tunnel, change him up by using colour to make him stand out. Alternatively add colour to the tunnel and have him black and broody.
I don't understand the tattoo's at all. How can you see a tattoo on someone's back if he's wearing clothes? And they don't seem to conform to the shape of his body.
The glow doesn't work for me I'm afraid.
After that I'd probably play with the lighting. Photoscape has a brilliant little tool for darkening and lightening spots called region out of focus. Use that to focus the image where you need more light, and takeaway from say the sides. You can also play with GIMP's lighting effects, though I personally find them tricky to get right. However it occurs to me that some of those alien sun effects centred on the red light at the front might produce an interesting effect.
Cheers. Greg.
