hey
I think the background hills need to be taken down a shade or so, they don't look far enough away? Hmm, but maybe you should wait to see what others have to say about this. Meanwhile I might try and edit for this...
edit, and
->
Well I've done a quick/messy edit for you... well this is the first time I've ever done anything like this, so maybe others can give their thoughts on my advise.
Okay, my first concern was the perception of depth... the things in the distance didn't look like they were in the distance. The other thing was the lighting... looking at the rocks and highlights of the clouds, I think the light comes from the top left, and towards us. So I done some major editing of the closer background mountain, I think our right side should be darker (as how is the same amount of light meant to get to it, as seen in yours???), and to give greater depth I think it should get darker the lower down the mountain you go. Ohh yea, I also thought the closer background mountain looked a bit out of perspective also, which I tried altering a tad.
Firstly I tried to take it down a shade, to make it look futher in the distance, I did the same for the very far background mountains. I also edited the highlights of the clouds, as it looked really odd to me how the top and bottom of the clouds were highlighted (hope this makes sense), so I went over and only kept the highlights of the top of each bit of cloud.
I also done some other minor things here and there. But yea, my tip is to focus on the light, and let that define the mountain... rather than trying to use some special mountain pixel techniques or whatever. Hmm, well I'm not sure you were really doing this, but hopefully you get the idea.
Anyhows I hope this helps
.
and another... ->
Done another edit to try and make the rocks look more natural and such, and tried to define the person better. The flag seemed to defy gravity, hehe. Think I might be done with my edits now
, I do hope you can learn some things from these.
