I'm not so sure about the processing. The look is interesting, but it leaves little depth to the image. Compositionally it seems a bit odd. On the one hand the ball high up and the net behind suggest an action shot. But she appears static and posed. Angle you took it at is a bit odd too, giving the impression of a backward lean that doesnt seem to really be there.
I'd like to see more of an action capture, more tonal separation between her and the wall to give more depth.

I agree with Scott, the composite flattens the image dramatically, but, the effect is interesting - reminds me of pictures pasted in a book when I was a kid - the glue bled through the image, especially when the image was taken from a magazine.
So perhaps you have chosen two clashing items - image & background - at least imo.
The line traced by her torso to the rim is the only hint of perspective, including other points of reference might be advantageous to add depth. You might also slightly blur the pole and backboard/rim to visually focus on your wife...otherwise the goal competes for attention.
I usually don't like texture in a shot, but it seems to work here. The composition is simple enough that there doesn't need to be any selective blurring. Also, as human beings, we are trained (wired?) to zero in on faces and organic forms ( a good looking wife doesn't hurt) so there is little competition from the basket.
