There are a few things I'd change: it's rather dull, so find a POV that is more exciting, perhaps from the rim. There seems to be only one tree species, try to add more diversity. And the rim is quite spiky, I'd give that bigger spikes or a more eroded, softer look.

If this is you first post, be welcome!

I dont think the POV is dull. Just ned to break up the plant distribution more, so that it looks like a more natural wild forest. A bird eye is probably the only way to see everything at once.

I like the mountains in the distance too. I like the sharp peaks. Only I think there are too many of those points imo. It feels like they should be there, just not so many.

The mountains remind of a mix of some south american places.

Scale and vista are nice, but agree some species/colour and size variation would improve this, some extra erosion also... Hope the crits are not too critical!!
Cheers

Thanks all :) Crit more than welcome. This image is the front face of a Skybox I'm creating use in Unity. Will definitely do some more POVs and variations soon!

I really like that POV. To me it's not really dull, but I agree about the need for variation in the population. And Ulco's right about the "spikeyness" of the rim. Hope we'll see some more versions of this.
And yes, welcome here!!
