If this is your third mix, then it's very good.
I agree with thedon, that vocals could be little higher in the second mix.
Nice way to find balance is to listen at very low levels. And then maybe do another quick balance test by listening at quite high levels. Then after small pause compare those two versions at natural listening level. And they are probably quite different.
Acoustic guitar has some harshness. Maybe you've overdone it. If you solo the guitar and listen it at high level, you'll hear easily the annoying sounds. If we could send picture here it would be nice to share some settings and compare. I just checked what I did: I had used hi-pass at 200 and three cuts (274 Hz,1100 Hz,2440 Hz). And for DI cut at 3180 Hz.
And always if there's DI and normal mic for one instrument, it's worthwhile to try to delay the DI signal just a little bit. I had delayed 20 samples.
Cheers, Olli
