Great work on the colors! They all seem unified! The mountains, however, look too similar in terms of brushstrokes. They all have the ridges traveling up in a similar motion. I feel they should be more organic. The waterfall is also not very distinct and appears to be coming out of nowhere. The depth of the mountains though is beautiful but I also really can't tell if the mountains further back are snowy or if that's just the atmosphere. They one thing I would recommend is to make the elements in this work more distinct and apparent. Fantastic work though, I do truly wish I was as talented as you!
