This painting is totally a new style for me, so I'm not sure where to take it. Its missing something I feel.

Thanks everyone!

Here's the finished work:

Cool advice. I was thinking of adding something but I couldn'tt figure out what. But I think I've found something suitable to put in there that could save this painting.

Hey guys, the final version of this is up at my site, in case you're interested: www.artnadim.blogspot.com

I made the foolish mistake of painting from lousy quality reference material, and the result is that my painting looks quite poor in terms of depth.

Tell me what you think. Thanks.
