Not sure how to help you with the program itsel;f but I can tell you what I see...
MY vision is too full.. I cannot look around the two towers in the front. I need some more depth, it is there in some places not in others, work with that horizon, lighten it in the back to pull it backwards but keep working with that!
I need more consistancy in the perspective and shading; the buildings or towers or plants.
IS all I can see for now. Is still in a very early phase though so am curious where it will go!

Hi, just stumbled upon this.
I agree with what others have said. You need more details in the foreground. Maybe you should use a thinner brush to add the detail and work on the lights and shadows, to give it more depth.

Composition wise, the main problem I have with this picture is that the towers are too straight, segmenting the whole in a too regular way. You might want to add some elements that go through diagonally. Also you could geive more depth lightening the black of the background, adding a slight fog.

it's really difficult to talk about a work in progress picture though the web, just with words, at least it is for me... I hope to have been of some help nonetheless...

I agree with lonelyrider07... And maybe also crop a little off the right so that the buildings fall on your magic thirds there...?

Ahh, I see you thought of something to add in your painting. I love it so far, especially the colours. The only thing I would suggest to finish it would be to just add more detail in the foreground buildings. Because the mountains in the back are so dark, they really draw your attention first, and away from the rest of it. You have a great start on the towers so far; just add some fine detail, and I think it would be finished.
