That's not bad at all. The backdrop is really very good. I'm doing a pic ATM that has a faded "evil-type" head as part of the backdrop, so I hope mine turns out as good as yours. I like the saturated colours, too, although the textures could be improved. I'm not sure why the landscape is symmetrical. I don't think it harms it much, but is there a reason? If not... unsymmetricalise it! (I made that word up, as you may have guessed) IMO the main problem you have is in composition, in that you have no foreground, no focus, nothing that draws the eye more than anything else. If it was me, I'd have a close-up head & torso of a skeleton warrior, maybe half-off the screen, in the bottom left corner (shifting the other skellies around to fit, obviously) Another thing (damn, I bet peoeple cringe when they see my name on a critique post!) - the skellies need to interact more with the ground. They appear to be floating a couple of inches from the ground, and the distant ones have a too-high ambience - they should be darkened with distance.
