the composition is very good to me... it still needs some improvements but that's a very very good start (to me) ^^

Agreed, but the white trunk trees in the near foreground do not work as well as they do in the middle distance.

Foreground is a little different, but the whole scene is very nice.  Good populations and nice lighting.

I second this. You might also consider to add some more detail in the foreground and maybe also to reduce the wavescale of the water.
In overall it is a very good and indeed quite natural looking image. Nice mood and lighting. I like it.

I like it, too. A few comments for a possible improvement, though:

- In the foreground at least, you may want to use more than just one tree age/type
- I'd use different fake stone sizes and shapes, and less of those big ones.
- Light it up a little, maybe in post.

Cheers,
Frank

The upper half of the render is fantastic- very believable place.  Reminds me of some renders I've seen in done in Vue. The foreground terrain and trees are a little ropey tho.
