This has a ton of potential.  I really like how much depth there is in the scene. If you work on it further I would suggest increasing the density of the tree populations and even adding another species or two if possible.  I find the lens flare somewhat distracting when trying to view the small details in the background.

This is beautiful :)
I love the sunset.
I it a procedural or digital elevation model terrain.
Keep up the good work.

Looks very nice as it is in a painterly way , Freelancah :)
With a little more effort it could look very realistic too. If this is your goal of course!

The flare is much too strong. That said, I like it. The problem is that is overwhelms the composition. I would add some more brush, a different type of pine to go with the firs.

It's a very good render now. Keep going.

Agree with the above comments. Only other thing I would add is that the grass is a little large in the foreground - it makes it difficult to figure out the correct scale for the trees.

great mood  - we worry too much about realism, art is about our personal experience of the world after all everyone sees the world differently!

I really like the lighting of this piece! Great! What I would do, though, is have more grass on the foreground, patchy maybe, but denser and soft, like a lush hill interspersed with (some) bare patches of soil, where some ground has subsided.
