These creatures really look like they belong and I can imagine myself stepping into the alien landscape. It feels very solid and very real.
I also like your placement of the foreground, it helps channel the eye of the viewer into the painting.
I really like the sun shining through the clouds, and I think some of the rougher edged clouds near the horizon might help draw the eye into the painting more.
some feedback on the grass:
I like where you put the grass, but it looks like you used the same photoshop brush over and over. This is not a bad thing, but you have dark blades of grass on top of very bright green grass. i think the areas with the long blades of grass might look more realistic if they were a brighter green, or perhaps if they cast shadows.
also, the bright green is a very eye-pleasing color, but it is a little jarring. I think maybe a few patches other shades of green might help it look like less of an artificial green without losing the brightness.
I also love your use of atmospheric perspective.
a note, however... the water (which is lovely) become blurred a little too soon. You want the amount of detail to match as you go deeper into the painting. usually you want a bit more detail in the middle there because that is where the elements are leading the eye. it wouldn't take much, just a pebble or two to suggest a sharper focus.
note:
focus point...
the eye travels from the left creature to the far right creature, to the sun and then follows the ray's of the sun.
when you have lines like a ray of light you will want to make sure there is detail in the area that line leads us to.
also, I just noticed that the creatures and the outcropping it is perched on form a wonderful curve. I don't know if that spiral into the background was planned but it is fantastic
