Damn this is audacious!
I'm not a fan of those edgy banana crust of the male part, but you could add one more in back so that it looks 3D. And you could blur some edges of the banana.
Oh, and d'apres moi, those female/male symbols would look better if bigger, differrent colors & without the chain.

Reflection for object above the water is more difficult, tricky is a better word, than those near the water. You'll have to be carefull when calculating it. Good luck.

Christmas in Montecarlo

Uhm, nope the brick floor doesn't mean it's outside, and the sun can come down through a glass roof, like malls have.
BUT... if you have ( or can take ) a larger shot which includes a street or the sky and add it in SBS, that would clear doubts.

First of all author, you should be proud for giving yourself a prety hard mission for a beginner.
Although not perfect, i consider this an improvement and I hope the voters will appreciate your efforts & patience. Be sure I do.
The most critical adjustments that i consider you should do at this stage:
1.Make those edges clean! Light pole,umbrella man, left side forest & left side building need adjustments.
Check this tutorial here and use Pen tool to repair them :

2. When you put the light at a window near the edge of the building you must put light on the side of the building as well, it's logical. Rooms on corners are usually square, and have windows on two sides so when the light is up it should be seen on both sides.
Keep it up, you're doing good.

The condensation on the inside makes these drops really interesting-(big and small concave texture,oh yeah!), but those numbers take away from the effect.
Could you do a close up so that we don't see them numbers and upload a high-res? That would be wonderfull.

Yup, crop image in Photoshop and right after your Crop selection check the perspective box on the top bar and then adjust your selction so that when you press Enter your Image would look normal not lYou could also use Free transform to adjust.

BUT... if you place that chair on top of the hill, in the bakcground, and just distort it a bit to blend your style, the source will be recognizable, and this would be a cool entry,imo. Don't forget to add it a (loong) shadow.

About colours.. you could do some blue highlights here and there, but it's your choice.

Just commenting from an architect point of view:
the counter-step ( for those type of stairs) is ussually 15-17cm which would be a bit more than Half of the man's Head. You could scale the guy to fix this.

greymval says:

OK, if curves/ transparancy didn't help, you should make some layers with the environnment colour and clip to your girl& umbrella( which should be desaturated a bit), overlay those and lower oppacity below 20%.
Be aware not to make her look dead , but to have the aspect that she is really in that cave, not in a studio with a background.
Light reflects on surfaces and gives them colour, but surfaces also reflect their color on other objects, influencing their hue - that's the motto of blending, lol.
PS: you could try to place some fog, not too much, if you think it helps the composition- you can find many tutorials about fog online.

Second Thoughts
avatar greymval
greymval says:

Use the Pen tool, author, to make those shapes/edges look better, you can stroke with eraser, afterwards blur them a bit. It's not a bad idea, honestly.

Well you got the idea author, but you could make those lights yellow, and placed randomly, not just on the top windows. Also add a glow to them , double click on layer = layer style, click outer glow, adjust setting in that pannel.
Same thing for the light pole + you might have to make a new layer on top and use a yellow brush to drag light lines from the lamp and then make them transparent, screen or overlay and blur.
I strongly suggest to search some tutorials out there, in case my explanations are not helpfull enough.

Yup, in China the bride is always in red, but some nice "lingerie", can be made from this too .
Placing it on a model ( find on deviant stock or here in Pictures-Uploads - stock) and warping it would make this awesome.

More light on her dress would do good and somekind of distort ( either liquify, displacement or spherize) so it looks like it's on her.
If you wanna keep the nipples make them look like they are on purpose: place some vivid colour around them or dark lines from it like a sun, or something like this: http://shrani.si/files/rozeta10wq4.jpg
And there goes the 3rd comment about nipples, lol.
