This is the cover to my manga Gabriel. I was told by a couple of people, that the cover lacks something. I'm working hard to learn how to cg much better but even though i'm working hard at trying to get better.

Nice! I like the color and the design of the clothes. There does seem to be something missing. It's something in the background. It doesn't work with the character. I'm not a design-y type person, so hopefully someone with more knowledge can come along to help you.
I also notice that the eyes seem a little too far apart. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the eye closest to the viewer should be moved just a liiiiittle bit closer to the nose.
I like how you've implied movement with the sweep of the hair and by giving some of the more protruding clothing folds movement in, generally, one direction. I think you are a very talented artist who will take your art very far if you wish to do so.
