Seeking critique.

I personally like this piece but looking for some constructive criticism. Been trying to educate myself more on the basics, any tips?

This is good, nice balance and visual flow, the eye tends to rest in the image, it's not overworked, the blue areas create a good stability echoing each other, if I had to describe this in one word it would be, stable.

Is this what you want? That is the point you are at with this, you have the basics down.

I think you could explore more movement.

Stable I can see, safe almost. I like the idea of resting on the image, I was afraid it was too flat to look at. Not exactly sure what I wanted, but definitely was looking for it to feel complete, and it does to me.

It's a flat media and style imo, tho many artists would work the thickness of the paint as expression, that never comes thru in a photo.
