Another background

[Matti]

Very nice, this is getting better and better. As pointed out above there's still a problem with the bridge though. It looks disconnected to the rest of the BG, like it's floating above the ground. The perspective is off too. If I find the time I'll post a paintover later on.

And another thing is that the rocks look very blurry in contrast to the grass & path, maybe you could sharpen them up a bit.

I've always found rocks difficult. Here is a few approaches I've found easier:



On the left the rock is made up of tapering columns and on the right it's made up of a kind of tortoise shell pattern. In the middle it's kind of lots of small columns. This is just a sketch, it would benefit from detailing on the rock.

I also moved the horizon up to a position which better suits the angle of the camera.

Ripples!!! That's what I needed 

Nice work Ali, though no heavy editing for this piece. Sharpened cliffs, added ripples and raised horizon line:
