This looks like it was shot in a TV studio. Like you can see the edge of the room because the trees just stop and then there's a grey wall. That's an issue.

Also - you're gonna have to buckle down and just redo the figure. I'm sure it seems like a pain in the ass, but it has to be done. Reason being that - as it currently is - the person seems be firing off way to the left and not at all in the direction of the hare, so much so to the point that it's jarring. Like - what's he shooting at? It's definitely not the hare. You can solve this by finding a better reference of a person shooting from this general angle. If you can't find a good one, trying making your own by mocking up a figure in Design Doll or something similar to help give you a better idea of what a figure would look like from this particular angle, shooting at that particular spot.

I saw you thought your piece suffers from a bad thumbnail. I think you can fix this by:
1.) Increasing the size of the figure in the foreground significantly. If not, at least crop the top 1/3 of the composition, as it really isn't serving any purpose.
2.) Separating the foreground from the midground by darkening the foreground and slightly lightening the midground.
3.) Adding a rim light to the right part of the figure & tree - there's presumably light shafts in this forest, so it's not unreasonable to have there be another area of light off canvas providing the rimlight.
4.) Adding a light shaft and overall gradient coming down from the sky to the midground.

Hope this helps - I really like this!
