Constructive criticism time.
The guy's face is a bit off. I can't describe exactly how... but it looks like a failed photoshoop if this were a real photo. I think it's the eyes...
And the light source. In the picture, the Sun is close to the horizon, so the light should not be very strong. The light should also be coming from behind the Pokémon and trainer (from the Sun), but the shading makes it seem like the light is coming from the top left (as with Pokémon sprites). The clouds, too. Their darker side is facing the Sun.
The shadow under Dewgong's left fin (the one farthest away from the center) is a bit awkward.
The noise that you used to make the sand should be blurred a bit, and skew/stretch it. Currently it looks like a vertical surface, a wall. Feet and hands on the sand should create some bumps around them, and it would be great if you add a seashell or two. Dark shadows of birds in the sky would work well too.
The lines are a bit rough, but you don't need to fix that.
Bowser's face is a bit sharp.

I like how the ocean is done, it's great. I like the sky as well. The shading, despite not in the right direction, is great. Most of the proportions of the Pokémon's and trainer's body is correct. And I like how everything surrounds the Sun.
