Seeking some criticism...

[CorCAD]

My first screen. I think it may need something. I feel its a little plain. Nothing interesting going on so I would like some comments. Sorry for the low res. In all honesty I didn't feel like uploading the full 1.5MB original.

Many thanks for your input!

It's not too shabby!

The sun looks as if it's actually setting in the water (the blue horizon line goes 'behind' the sun) and some of the clouds appear to do the same thing.  So I suggest making the horizon line straight and flat.

The only thing missing are details.  Trees, rocks, etc.  Stuff like that.

I like the wavy like reflection of the sun in the water, but maybe it should be brighter?  Also, the sun is either rising or setting so the sky wouldn't be blue like that.  It would be 'sunset' colors!

Keep at it!

Thanks for the comments, after looking at the posted image I can definitely see what you mean. It looks a thousand times better on my computer cause you can see more detail so I tried uploading a higher resolution file, but that still looks real grainy.The horizon is a straight line, and appears that way in a test of the game.So I think i'm OK with that. The sun may be off by a pixel or two. Thanks for spotting that! I agree with the sunset colors, and will work on that in the morning. Will post back again when i've done some improvements.

It's quite good.  I like the colors & style.  It's got a nice organic feel to it.  I can't really critique anything except to second everything Darth said.  A double-check of sun location and a reassessment of colors.  

As for the sun, if you've got the image in layers, it's pretty easy to fix.  Either way, I'd say make the gradient go from nearly white (Say, 240-240-200 RGB, for example) to a very light yellow (like 235-235-180).  Your image is fairly high on the overall realism scale so you might consider checking out a reference picture or two.  I'm only being this nitpicky because it's a damned good job.. and because I care.  Just ask anyone.  I'm very caring.  And kind.
