I could circle much more, but it would be a bit overwhelming. Notice the boot-lace design, and how flat and poorly rendered it is, as well as the boots, and aspects of the clothes. From your other b/w poses it shows you understand what is going on well enough anatomically. But I'd say this piece is very poor in comparison to what you can achieve with your current skill set as you've presented. I think you may have rushed this. Slow down, as even the line quality in areas varies, especially with the "members'. The "members" could even be rendered better, it's all very symbolic drawing and flat form-wise. Use reference when drawing those clothes too, especially those boots, they really stand out as the problem center piece. Again, I think you may have just rushed through the line art phase and jumped straight into the next stage of rendering.

Much better, and much softer. Especially the bottom right one where she is standing. These are actually much stronger than your original finished piece, pose, form and gesture wise. I'd say redraw another image of her and expand from the original piece, with a more dynamic pose, take your time. Also, expand those backgrounds too. If I am having trouble with clothed figures, I find it helpful to draw the figure nude first, and then to add clothes if I am having a difficult time of it, it also helps with experimentation, which is key to seeing what works and what doesn't for future pieces, as well as using reference for clothing and items I do not understand or have memorized in my internal visual library.
