Well I can tell you used the eraser instead of the pen tool or even the lasso. It's not bad...but its definatly not the best. Look at some tutorials on how to cut out renders to see how to use the pen tool and/or lasso.

That's extremely jagged, and like Tj said look at some tutorials to use.

The area around the feet still has a dark outline and the winglike parts look pretty haphazardly done. Look for some tutorials on like planet renders or something to get a clearer outline.
