I don't think you need to add any more colors: it's very readable in its current state. Can't wait to see more.

It's gotten a lot better, good job!
However, the piece looks very washed-out. Color edit:

This is my favorite piece of yours. The colors are fantastic! - they remind me of the NES palette.
I agree with Ovyx, the cactus jumps out as "unfinished."

The biggest problem at the moment is a lack of focus.
-My eyes get lost in all the details and has nowhere to rest.
-Readability is an issue.
-There seems to be a lack of depth.
All theses problems can be solved when you establish a hierarchy of focus. Things in the distance should have very low contrast, while things in the foreground should have high contrast. In effect you need to create contrast in the "big-picture" (foreground vs. background). There also are a lot of details that don't really add to the picture but add a lot of clutter (the flower pot, buildings underneath the dragon's left wing, and the Triton statue to name a few).

Very cool thread. I especially like the workspace pic.
As mentioned before, her face has really improved since the first pic
Anatomy looks good.
The major thing I feel is lacking in this piece is atmosphere, tone, emotion, setting. Where is she? What time of the day is it? The background suggests she's standing in a foggy marsh, but the girl's colors says she's standing under one of those photography umbrellas in a bright studio.
You need to think about how the light source and reflected light play on the skin's natural tone. Basically you should consider how the environment affects the figure's colors.

Wow why am I so horrid at anatomy. -_-
Because anatomy takes years of daily practice to master.
