Learning to Focus the piece

First we start with the piece that's far too large to suggest a problem.

Then you adjust the canvas a little:

It brought everything a lot closer together, the two in center finally look trapped. This must be what someone meant when she was trying to tell me to focus the piece. Mercy I'm slow. Sorry about the frustration, friend!
All that said, I finally have an idea for the shield and where the actual light source is going to be now. Shame that it may cover some of the wizard back there but it should help when I get to shading!
