A scorned woman

Bare with me as this is my second critique.

The main problem over all with this manip is, it is missing the element of light and shadow, and your models don't blend well with the background.

First, the element of light and shadow must be added to most manips. You need to create a light source and add shadows accordingly.

Also the light sources on your models need to match, as do the directions of their shadows.

Lastly, using Adjustment elements, color balance, hue/saturation. It helps with the blending and fluidity of the overall piece.

Beginner tutorials are available here on dA and are so super useful.
