Done from reference.
I know there can be improvements made but I'm not sure what.
I need brutal and honest critiques (I can take it). So here it is.

It is a very good image the shapes are very propocitanted and the volumen is there.

I think it lacks on higth ligths and really dark areas,

It would help to see the photo u used nice looking painting a bit to smudgi on some parts the rock buildings I think they don�t look solid enought, the water does not look transparet enought, but never the less with out seeing the reference u used i can�t tell if it is allrigth, since the water on that river can be very dark.
keep it up!!!

i think it might look good if u added some tiny white glints to the water, not a lot, but enough to give an overall efect. But even w/o 'em, it looks really good. And as maxetormer said, i think u could also use some brighter highlights and darker shadows.

Thanks guys that was very helpful. I need to work on the background some more, that is what I had the most trouble with. And yeah now that you mention the water could use a bit more highlights and darker areas
By the way, here is the reference I used
