Very nice composition! You created an interesting scene with a nice background that has many details but doesn't destract from the dragon which is the main focus of the picture.

I really like your choice of colours: the purple tones of the background compliment the many little yellow highlights very well (like the leaves or the chandelier). The background is also kept in a less saturated color sceme which allows the dragon to pop out more and makes it easier to focus on the main scene in the foreground. 
The idea of creating a cage out of little trees is very nice and makes me think of an outside gazebo in a garden. It creates a very calm and relaxed atmosphere. I also like the little details on the trees: the small branches with the leaves and especially the flowers create an extra highlight. I think it's good that you only added a few branches, this way the picture is not so overloeaded with details. 
The dragon is very well done. The colors are darker and more saturated and this makes him stand out from the background. I also like that you added some shading to the bandage. this makes it look more realistic.

I'm not so sure what to think of the chicken (?) in front of the dragon. I think it's not really necessary and rather confusing. I'm not sure what it's doing there.
I'm also not sure if I understand the whole setting. There seems to be a ceiling with windows but then there are mountains and plants in the background too so I can't tell if this is located inside or outside. However this might just be the charm of the picture and doesn't really matter so much after all, since this is a fantasy setting.

Some points you could work on for the next time to make your drawing even better:
The picture looks a little bit flat but this can easily be fixed by adding more shadows and highlights. You already did that a little bit with the dragen (on the ground) but maybe you could also add some shading to the objects/figures themselves. Some highlights would also help in order to tell where the light comes from.
The proportions are good all in all, there just seems to be something wrong with the right leg. However it's very dark so I can't tell exactly what it is that bothers me.
This is a very challenging perspective. Watch out a bit with the foreshortening. The windows on the sides which are closer to the viewer need to be slighly bigger. You already did that to some extend but I think it would look even better if you increased this effect even more. This might also be the thing that bothers me with that right dragon leg. It probably needs to be slightly smaller (because of foreshortening).
One last point: I really love the colours you've picked and they work pretty well together, however, I think the wings of the dragon would look better in blue/green or yellow/orange. The purple of the background just doesn't work very well with red. When you take a look at the colour wheel you can see that they are just next to each other. It usually works better to use colors that are more appart on the wheel. 

However, I'm not an expert either but I hope that I could help you a little. All in all I find your picture very beautiful and I think you have a very good feeling for composition.
Keep it up!

Niiiiice.


The lines are a bit rough, but it'd nice.


It's interesting how it shows the dragon there is in a wooden cage, but it also seems to be located in either a graveyard, or some kind of church (It's hard to tell with the gray things in the background, and the patterns on the top.


Either way, just improve the neatness, and I bet it will look worthy of being in a spyro game.
