Oh dear, by the time we've all chipped in, it's going to sound as if there's nothing right about it at all! You are very brave to expose yourself like this. One thing to think about might be the POV. You have used a piece of 3d software to produce an side view of two characters against a flat wall - not a very 3d result. Now there is absolutely nothing wrong with that if that's what you intended. How about using a little more depth? Both these beings can (or could) fly. Could you get more drama into the picture if the man were reaching down to the girl, or she were reaching up to him, and you saw the image from either above or below, accentuating the depth - maybe using a slightly wide angle effect to pull it out evem more. That would then bring out what you've already done very nicely, and that's have the light coming from his part of the pic into her darkness. If you wanted a more static pose, focussing on the compassion rather than the drama - how about making her blind? It's a little cliched maybe, but it would accentuate her helplessnes. Also perhaps have him hold her fingers, not her arm - somehow would seem a little mor esensitive. All of the above just opinions regards peejay
