Some thoughts, please on a new piece.

This looks like a great start. I took me a few moments to understand what is going on.

There is plenty of nice texure work that might be over powering the  composition, maybe pulling it back as it may help how well each element reads to the eye? Have you considered putting more emphasis on the shadow with the spear? I also like how the stairs is looking. 

Here is a quick paint-over. You might also consider cropping the image, but it could create ugly tangents.
