Render Made By A Newbie

Hi everyone :D
I'd like to improve, so I'm going to submit you my latest render!
On the background the textures are not very high-definition (this is a freebie, but I needed a mall for a particular scene), and some elements are cropped, so I blurred it with Photoshop (where I've done some small color correction too).
It's rendered with my CPU, because everytime I find it very hard to fit a scene in my 3Gb VRAM. I rendered at 1440p, then downscaled to 1080p.
The lights are the standard ones, because I make a mess every time I try to set some!
I always have problems with some accessories, like with the bracelets on the right character, but they're made for G8F!
Any suggestion on how to improve? :D

Another problem is the tunic on the left character, under the purse: I was faithful I could have fixed it in Photoshop, but it was harder than I thought. I know I could have morphed it, but instead one day I'd like to learn how to use dForce.
I think you've done a pretty good job of it so far! And welcome to the art forum, this is definitley a good place to get advice. Is the tunic made for dforce? If it is, its pretty simple, if its not its a bit more complicated. There is a very long, very informative thread on Dforce that may help as well.. Your lighting is not bad at all, I am not that fond of doing lighitng myself, I tend to use premade light sets a lot. I do know how to light a scene, I just don't really enjoy it, but I did learn it because its helpful to understand how things work. If you have a couple of light sets that you like, you might deconstruct it to see how its done. Your posing is good, and your characters feet are anchored to the ground.
Compostioin wise, you might put one girl a bit farther back than the other, instead of them being directly next to each other, this might help it have a bit more depth as well.
Thank you IceDragonArt! :D
The tunic is not made for dForce (https://www.daz3d.com/casual-dayz-for-genesis-8-females), thank you for the guide, it's pretty long but I'd like to learn it! :)
Wow, your renders are astonishing! :O
I don't think I have any good light set, as far as I know!
Thanks for the composition tips! It's the same girl at two different times, I wanted to compare the two moment, using as a divider the opening of the mall door
Thank you for the useful tips :D
