Wonderful. It makes me curious about the story of that tree and how it came to be in the glass box.

Lovely original work.
It's nice to see someone who is able to mesh organic and man-made elements together in a refreshing way, and with an evocative atmosphere too.

This composition will appeal to a wide audience at one level or another. Great use of perspective, including the Aerial Perspective, which are well crafted.
I like your color palette for this piece. This image uses relatively few Hues, which increases the difficulty level for the piece. Basically, all of the light source related shading and Planar Value shading has to be done mostly through tonal variations. For an image like this work this well, it has to have excellent Tonal Quality, which you have here.
However, the quality of some of the Tonal Gradients could be better.
I am always very pleased to see an artist painting with light, where light influences all of the elements of the work. There are no cast shadows in this piece, which would have increased the level of difficulty and added a great deal of work, considering how many structures there are. But is worth thinking about in future projects.
Great detail work on the encased tree.
This is an impressive painting and I have very much enjoyed itβThanks.

PRESS & PRINT PRODUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
There is something to consider for if, or when, you intend selling or "Rights Managing" your work for commercial use in print media. The bright reflection areas on the rooftops and the white areas of light coming through the trees, as well as the fine detail in the distance, can all have problems when sent for press or print production.
Relatively small considerations can make a big difference in how well an image outputs to the final media, such as art book, magazine, poster, newsprints, etc. The more highly engineered the paper, the better the output, but of course the cost quickly climbs.
When ink is applied to paper, it is absorbed into the paper and spreads, or bleeds. There is a play between color depth and sharpness, the higher the color depth, the less sharp the image, but that is another discussion.
The biggest problem is that the tones closest to white, or bright highlight, will drop-out and go to full white, with resulting loss of detail information. Tones closest to black will drop-in and go to full black, with resulting loss of detail. The magnitude of this depends on the quality of the paper.
Now for this image, rooftop reflection which may have some color information will go to white and all fine detail will be lost. This is called blowout. The areas in the big tress in deep shadow will go to black and all fine detail will be lost in those areas.
If tonal gradient are not as high as possible, then there will be obvious banding.
Ideally, if you are looking to output to print media, you either create two different files, or compromise. For example, instead of rooftops reflections already blown to full brightness, instead have a high quality gradient that stops short of full blown brightness. This way, when it prints, there will be some full blown brightness, instead of the all of the rooftop being blown.
In shadows, do the same thing. Don't go so dark and maintain a higher quality of transitions. the overall Dynamic Range will be lower (flatter looking) until it prints.
In the two file system, you would digitally paint the print version. Then simply push the Dynamic range on it a bit and you will have your internet version of the file.
But if you paint it for internet, you cannot easily go back the other way.

Looking at the enormous detail in the tree in the cube, I wonder how humongous this picture must have been before you resized it for use on deviantART.
