Ooh, those bridgeman studies 
Congrats on the 8h piece, you did well. COMMENCING CRITIQUE MODE!
Composition has a few flaws, I see what you tried to do with leading the eye.
I got stuck on the highlighted wall, instead of the 3 people(which is the focal point I assume)
The birds on the right should be a bit lower. Now the birds on the right are there to lead the eye to the 3 people, but I feel that they are not emphasised enough. Characters should be more sharper, usually you should start rendering the focal point and move on towards the less important areas in a picture. I also think the 2nd group of birds should be flying towards the focal point. Hope this helps you.
I constructed a paintover(quite badly, sorry) that illustrates the flow. Im not by any means a great artist so take everything with a grain of salt, also if someone more experienced sees something wrong feel free to call me out on it.
Keep kicking ass!
