Thanks everyone, You certainly are all right about the lighting. The composition is what has been bugging me the absolute most. Flak what you have said has helped me a lot, I think the angle of the camera is what's throwing off the distance and creating that bright white haze at the botom of the foothills. The image is portrait size, I think if I do it in landscape and lower the tower it might help with some of the depth. I agree the characters need more randomization. Bryster, I may have gotten it wrong from the movie's interpretation, but what Bandolin says I think should be taken into consideration. I actually read Tolkiens books when I was 8 years old. I am 36 now. That was long before the movie was made. So I did choose a little artistic license here. However I may have to sit down and watch the movies again and get some inspiration just to finish this piece.
