its a nice start, though there is only so much detail you can add at that pixel size

Tried to  fix accordingly to your edit,but with softer shadows and silhouette,and I used a blueish brown on the trunk to make more contrast.Also reduced a bit the highlight zone and added grass;
is it better now?

Main concern is the viewing angle and shape. Looking at the ground it tells we're looking from an above perspective. but the top of the tree isn't. I'd cover a bit more of the branches connecting with the trees crown to enhance that. I like the green palette  :y:

Thats a good approach, but i think the tree trunk is a bit too massive (or treetop too small)

sorry for triple post,thought it didn't send them,then found out they were on a 2nd page :blind:(already reported myself to moderator)

Tried fixing shadows,but I don't know if its even noticeable

(light source should be 3/4 on the left and a bit from above)
Here I dared to change the shadows more than usual,is it better?

Now that's a tree! and nice fix on the colors!
Looks all good to me, just take heed, in-case it wasn't what you were aiming for, that this tree is more of a swamp tree and won't really fit in other environments =]
