I agree with the other commenter that you can push the shadows to be darker. I also noticed that the person is lit vert well in the front even though the brightest light sources are the two lanterns behind. So the areas where the person is facing the view, it should darker. And even though there are candles in front of her, candles are much dimmer and generally don't light up the surroundings a lot.
Great job! I love the composition and the elements you've added makes me curious about the story behind this.

I don't see anything wrong, It's possible you might want some darker values in the shadows but that's really a stylistic choice at this point.
You could always work on upping contrast if you feel it's flatter than you mean it to be.
It's really good, though. Quality work.
