The pose is indeed very nice indeed, I like the story telling aspect of the image. For rendering try to use not just soft edges (airbrush) but also hard edges (e.g. hard round brush) or it will all look foggy. If an object is close to another, it will drop sharper shadows. If the light is strong, it will also cause sharp shadows. Another issue: while the main light appears to be sunset yellow, neither her figure nor the environment reflect it. Warmth of the light affects color of the shadows and highlights. The light is very warm here so I would expect warmer shadows. Shadows also tend to be less saturated while for example her hair is extremely saturated. To edit the image I adjusted all colors to contain more red and yellow. I also think blueish second light would work better than purple in this setting. The focus is suffering because everything is fighting for attention. Try to pick 1-3 things that are important. They should be highlighted and have the most detail - the rest not. When using textures make sure to paint over them a bit or they will look copy pasted (I adjusted shading on the bricks). It is not related to rendering, but try this pose yourself and observe what your shoulder does. Hope it helps, good luck! | Artwod Feedback
