So my second attempt to fix it did come out nicely, don't you think?
About the paining I think its nice, however, its too static. And it seems like its sort of unfinished. The background needs to be a little less varied, or if you really wanted to vary the background, you should have really put some more effort into it. About the subject itself, you need to show more details, here and there, you made nice details on the upper spine area, but they faltered out in all other areas of the painting. The feet are just blocks, can't say anything more about them. Overall its nice.
