I'd say you could improve lighting. Google some more refs.
With this kind of lighting from the window the figure would most likely be just a dark silouhette with rim light and quite a bit of ambient light.
If there's another source of light (a lamp on the ceiling on the right, which you use to give her arm a strong direct light), it must:
-affect the water, add some brighter reflections according to the light direction
- affect the feathers on the head, right now this form is flat, addform shadow, same direction as on the arm
I don't quite get what's the material of her torso and neck. Seems like some very light-absorbing stuff, definitely not human skin, is it black cloth gradually transitioning to white cloth? If so, make harder edge between her arm and the cloth and some occlusion shadow. If it's some unhuman supernatural skin, then we should see where the white cloth ends and skin begins.
Would be good to light some simple shapes as an excercise and then apply it to more complex stuff like this or your next artwork :)
Hope it makes sence :)
