It looks like you are using too soft edged of brushes. Soft edges are only good in small doses. If you use them for everything, your image ends up too "fuzzy" and blurred looking.

The round thing dead center at the bottom is distracting, like a bowling ball. Particularly since everything else is sharp and angled...

Great color and lighting, tho!

Yep I definitely see some progress! I think the hard edged brushes are helping. I think as you're moving through the painting, keep addressing where you want the focus to be. Keep your foreground objects sharper and the the distance objects softer. I'd also consider maybe lengthening the shadows on the rocks. As of now, a lot of the shapes are tending to be vertical and some horizontal shadows would add interesting variation. Great work so far though, keep it up.
