Fixed stuff and finished other stuff. Probably gonna add trees in places.

That'd be an awesome addition. But wow... it's awesome so far. Nice colors!

I think I'm ready to submit this. Anything else wrong?

I agree. However, I realized upon finishing the piece that the weekly challenge rules call for a canvas no bigger than 200x200. :/

If you'd change the other parts it would add quite a lot of character to the image i'd say. Anyway, good job sofar I like the overexposed coloring too.
