This isn't bad work, I just think you need a bit more time with it.  If it were me doing some more work on it, I would do the following:
  1. Scale back the highs on the vocals.  I think you were maybe going for airy but it's too much. I spent so much time trying to eliminate that breath that seems to just kind of smash into the song on occasional words but not always.
  2. Kick drum is a bit "woofy".  Might need to sort that out.
  3. Snare seems heavy but that could be an artifact of the vocals so evaluate when (1) is finished.
  4. When the cello's come in, they really come in.  Maybe automate the entrance to take some edge off
  5. Get the acoustic guitar out of the way - especially during the cello solo. 
These are not major structural problems and can probably be fixed mostly with faders and a bit of automation.  I think you're close.
