I'm here on behalf of ~SelfTaughArtist because your piece was in the group's critique requested folder. However, your color schemes sure caught my eye First, the this I would add to make this piece more interesting is some atmospheric perspective, which means just lowering the contrast, saturation of the trees in the back and adding some of the blue color of the sky to them. Also, I think you don't need to over-render your piece, otherwise it'll look dead! Leave some looseness in it, some gestural brush strokes, suggest something to the viewer. And also, respect your selling point: if its the dragon, add more contrast to it and add a more extreme foreground element: doing that, you'll have more depth and you can help tell the story by using hints to locate the observer: is he hidding behind a tree? etc.
Overall, very nice composition and texture! Congrats!

First of all, wow, congratulations this is beautiful, but i may be a little biased since this is the kind of art i love.
There is no point pointing out what you did right, because i'd be here all day so i will cut straight to the things i personally think would add to the piece.
The bridge seems to be the weak point of the piece, that and the perspective on the river of the left of the bridge. it almost feels like the water there is higher than the ground near the lady.
Apart from that, this is amazing, really well done
Wow, this is absolutely beautiful. There's kind of an untold story feel to the scene and I love the tone of color ^_^ This is very nostalgic to me, as I absolutely love dragons.
I think this is my favorite piece so far. A lot of dragon art is all.. LOOK A DRAGON. This is more.. a lovely forest and a lovely dragon. It's more harmonious, more natural then striking. It is a calmer more relaxing type of awe. If that makes any sense. I'd love to see you continue in this vein, maybe make pieces that are calm, and maybe you don't even see the dragon at first, it's just there. Dragons don't always get to strike a pose after all. I also feel like the trees should fade a bit more, it's sort of too bright in the forest... you have all those thick branches and it makes my mind wonder where the light is coming from, but it doesn't seem too bad, becuase there is a lightsource at the end of the path.
