I like the atmosphere here and the use of foreground, middle ground, and background. The shading and color choice look good, but I think if the palette was more gray/muted the characters would blend in with their environment better; right now they look very saturated.
The anatomy looks pretty good, but I think the male's arms and neck are too thin in comparison to his broad shoulders and chest.
You got a good feeling of emptiness in the piece as though the two of them are very alone. I think the overall composition would look better, though, if the top part of the picture just where the reeds in the foreground begin was cropped out. That would take the pair out of the dead center (which tends to be compositionally boring)
I did kinda notice the same things you did with his arms being too scrawny compared to the rest of him after i finished it. As for the colours, I just plain suck at colour night scenes, but I'll mess with the brightness/contrast and see if something better comes up.
I like the idea of not putting the characters in the center for once. I might have to try that on my next peice.
I'm not great with coloring night scenes, either. An easy way to make the color more natural, I've found, is to make a layer over your color layer and color in the spots where the characters are in a dark blue shade then lower the opacity of that layer to your preference.

Otherwise, very nice work! Keep it up!
