Here is the constructive critique you wanted:
On the lower part of the picture you have a strong composition going on here however all that negative space to the top is way to overpowering and lessens the effectiveness of the piece. I use the triangle rule which was used by the masters and which in part I judge a picture’s composition by, as well as contrast, color use and over all creativity. The rule follows that you have 3 parts, figures, objects, or elements that create more or less a right or isometric triangle. It is a little bit like playing connect the dot with an imaginary line and the parts of the picture being the dots, no actual line is drawn. This triangle can be repeated many time over and over again for increasing complex pictures but with a strong composition. Other triangles can be used but cause a weaker composition. The hatching and line work is very well controlled but feels a little jumbled.
