Something Ive been working on. I'm happy with the atmosphere, just need to work on the terrain and trees. Does anyone have any ideas for what i could do, like what trees to use and if i should have cliffs showing, or maybe a river? Thanks for viewing.

Hi there

I think the clouds look a bit too "solid" but I like their colouring etc. I love the vegetation , it looks really good. It may be worth trying to get more defined gaps on the hillsides in the midground and darken the grass showing through a bit (all personal preference) Nice work  ;D
I love the smell of caffine in the morning

I agree with mr-miley.

I like the colors and point of view.  For what it is, it's nice.  It's not realistic, but the spread and contrast make it interesting.
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

I completely agree. Vegetation and clouds look good, though the clouds could use some more contrasts. It might be interesting to restrict the trees a little bit more on the hills to give it a more natural look.
The most important thing for improving this image is the lighting I think. There are very very little shadows in the picture and the lighting looks therefore very harsh.
I'd lower the suns angle a bit and set it more to the right of the image. The lighting will become more dramatic, giving nicer colors and emphasizes the depth even more.
