What? Don't look at me!

Hello from

Hi there! First of all, I have to say I really enjoy the very impressionnist look of this work!  Now, let's do something constructive!

First of all, there is a bit of problems, I think, with your edges : while the colors themself are very painterly, some edges are very too strong for me.  I might be wrong, but it makes it look like the different elements are as thin as paper.  The best examble I see is the coat.  if you add a darker edge on the side, it would give it some volume and it would feel thicker!  Also, I think the characer is supposed to be in the watter, right?  If yes, we should see some deformation and a edge around the place where the character enter in the water.  it would make it a lot easier to read!

Now, for the composition, the biggest problem I see is the lack of focal element : everything seemsto have the exact same value : it is what we name "all over patern".  It means, basicall, that there is the same amound of contrast/value/importance all around your composition.  It makes it a lot harder to read.  If you add a bit of athmospheric perspective to bright up the background but keep the same shades for your character, it would make it pop up instantantly.  You could also add a rimlight around your character's shoulder to make it a bit more visible.

Finally, there is some semi-transparent glows all around the image and I'm really not sure of those.  I think they are prety much useless and just make your work a bit weirder.  Of course, it is just my vision of it. 

You could also try to add a bit more details on the background to make it easier for the viewer to identify different elements.

Finally, may I ask you if you used layers on this.  It almost lookslike you didn't and you tried to manually turn around some already painted stuff you did...
