The cool color scheme does a good job of creating a serene mood, but your perspective could use some work though.
The objects in your scene have to relate to the horizon line or else they will appear to be tilted. Both towers and the second platform are above the horizon line, so they should be curved upward (like a arrow pointing up). In other words things above the horizon line should be curved in the opposite manner of the things below the horizon.
The first platform is below the horizon and you can see the top plane, this is correct. The second platform is above the horizon and you should not be able to see the top plane.
If something is above the horizon line and you can still see the top. then that means that it is tilted in 3d space rather than a level surface (in the case of the second platform, it's probably tilted about 30 degrees, pretty hard to stand on).
Also the top tower is very high up so the viewer should be looking up at its underside. You painted it as if it were right on the horizon line.
After looking through your gallery I would say that your biggest strength is probably defining form with light and shade and conveying emotions. Your paintings have good contrast and have a nice 3d feel because you have defined the object with color tones so well.
I would recommend looking at some of andrew loomises books, [link]
. He is infamous for having made some of the best art 'how to' books ever, he was told he should leave art school the first week by the way. I also found someone on you tube who made a large collection of some very good video tutorials here [link] .
Hope this helps and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. "My Own Little Stairway", is my favorite by the way

Yeah I know, when i think about it now. It's not right. But sometimes a painting doesn't have to be just correct. I think it's oke to use your fantasy also, even when it looks al little bit weird after that. Some times I make shadows because it think they looking good that way, and not because the light source forces me to do so.
But anyway, I will keep it in mind 
And sorry for the late respond, I wasn't feeling very artistic lately.
