First of all this is a very beautiful composition with a very classy use of different shades of blue to create contrast. There are not many problems with it.

However, the falling petals appear to be going in the opposite way of the wind which is blowing against the girl, like they’re from the tree and not the flowers. The broader side tends to be downwards in the direction they’re going.

The tree and grass not being blue kinda clashes with the rest of the picture being entirely blue- a dark teal would be a little more in tune.

The girl’s wings look a little weird, try looking at reference of wings on other humans to get the size and shape a little more natural.

What really struck me first was all the blue that you used. I think you made a great choice of blues. The picture did not end up looking too depressing to the point that it rids the picture of its intended meaning which is a common effect of blue shades. Also, nice usage of contrast.

After the colors, I noticed the very detailed flowers you've drawn. I really adore how you outlined and even slightly cross-hatched each flower petal with the white pen. It really brought out the details and emphasized the strength of the light from the moon.

As for the figure herself, I noticed that you varied the weight of the inks for her lineart. While this can be effective, I think that it would have been better if the inking for her hair wasn't so bold. For me, it does not really suit the soft-looking coloring that you used for the figure and the flowers and is a bit inconsistent with the rest of the figure. Maybe what you could have done was make the weight of the lines in the lower part of the figure a bit heavier just to make things more consistent. I've also noticed her eyes are a bit lopsided. Great coloring technique though, especially for the hair and dress.

The other elements of the picture are pretty okay too. I like how the moon look s so bright, though I think it would have been okay if you made it a bit smaller. Also, it would have been okay for the clouds to not have outlines since the clouds were already pretty obvious and are already in contrast with the sky anyways. The flowers underneath the tree cold have been made to look a bit less like they form one solid clump.

Still, even with all those flaws, great job for this piece. It's effective and the great usage of colors really backed up the flaws.
