started working on this, but it seems to be missing something.  mostly looking for critique on colors, and texturing. 

 
also, ideas on what else i should add would be good too ;)

*damn, that was quick*
 
not quite sure what you did.  as far as i can see, you changed my second darkest tone. 
 
is there anything else you changed, or thats it?
 
and yes, ill desautrate that brown a wee bit.
 
edit:  HAHA i am going blind.  you changed all the colors!
 
ill desaturate a few of the background colors, but i like the forground ones bright

That little bit of color change helps a lot. I might suggest maybe a beam of strong light just hitting the base of the main trunk coming from the top right corner-ish?

I think it might be a good idea to use smaller ditherdots on objects farter from the viewer to add to the illusion of depth here. Depending on the mood, I would make the sunbeams whitish yellow for a bright and green forest or a rather desaturated brownish but still very light color for a clearing in a dark,woody forest.
 
One reference that might help with the lightbeams is this great piece by jamoon or ilkke or someone, I'll edit with the link once I find it.

aight MoD

-will do that with the ditherodts.

-not really interested in adding more then two more colors, which im kinda saving for the bush, so i have a nice, round, 8 colors.  thanks for the ref though.  i was actually using a piece by philipptr (lol butchered his name) as refrence for the light rays.

The rays are off to a good start. However, they seem to come from that one tree rather than around it, dithering may work it out. kutgw.
