I like the setting and composition. :) The problem with the lantern is that it's having little or no effect on the world around it. There's no yellow glow reflected in the man's face, almost no light reflections in the puddles of water at his feet, no highlights from his pants or boots. It almost looks as if the light was added totally in post, rather than being part of the original render. Remember, when it's raining, surfaces shine with reflected light. It's what makes them look wet. I would tone down the glow a little, and add a lot more highlights on the surfaces near the lantern. You should be able to do it all in any good paint program. -SMT
I'd rather stay in my lane than lay in my stain!
