Love it! It's better than what people down there are doing.

Those are indeed clouds.  Perhaps I made the texture on them a bit rough.  Guess I know how to do background foliage now, though. 

- The grass is a little messy, and so is the tree, but the ground is fine. Keep practicing! -

I like the leaves and stones here a lot. I think they look great. But the background forest is lit like it's a really sunny day, which doesn't register anywhere else. You should shift some color values a bit so the brightness levels match.

I see faces in the background. Maybe its just me but I had a hard time deciding if those are clouds or  trees but I like the colors.
