Description Gwaihir the Windlord and his eagles are flying around Mordor, waiting for the hour of fate.
In Barad-dur Sauron is looking also at them, while Frodo is going ahead with the Ring.
Mont Doom is very far, as is the horizon...

Ooooh! Very epic!  

But look very closely at your edges, especially on the building and the mountains; some of them are a little too sharp, and there's a little blue outline showing on the top of the building, especially the one in the foreground, and a little outline on the tower.

Once again, think back to what I wrote about getting a stronger sense of depth and space, although I would leave the tower alone since it is an important aspect of the scene. Still, more distance in the background (the sky closest to the mountains and the furthest mountains) would help make the entire scene look "bigger". \

Lastly, the left and right side of the building in the middle ground look too stark...they end so suddenly.  Maybe the building look more attached to the scene as you did with the one in the foreground by putting a line of rocks in front and on the sides, like the building itself is sitting on the rocky hill instead of directly on the ground. 

I LOVE the concept, it just needs tweaking to get it looking fantastic!
