I think you could adjust the color to take in account the color of the scene.The skin look very unatural and the metal is to bright .
I think it just to bright to make sense which make it look heavely staged.To me this is your most challenging piece because even those you recieve great feedback i think you once again commited to early to something that wasn't ready .
If you would have made this darker this would have reduce the readablity of what is behind which i think could benefit you in term of time spend on this piece since you would not have to work with those building look like cardboard cut out.
On that subject actually i think you should add some texture to those surface after all i doubt they have concrete but i guess you left it for the end to choose the amount and the scale of the masonry.For the vegetation it just look like stamp right now it leaking the depth because there isn't a change in value from the leaf on the outside to the inside of the bush.
Did a quick paint over just to show how much can be change even without much time investment just by playing with selection and brightness and contrast adjustment layer... for example here i ajusted the hue of the image to be more blue.You can also probably realize i kill the brightness and adjusted a bit of the contrast.
One thing is sure is remember that you should think about how to use value andcontrast to create visual hierarchy.By that i mean that even if you pick let say one object over the other don't just make it one value each object should have is one visual hierarchy for example the guy as light in is face he as a shadow side with a little bit of light to to give him more volume but there still a light and a dark side.For the girl it different the visual hierarchy is more establish using value in term of a scale from top to bottom the leg are contrasted but the chest is very much facing the light.
