Gorgeous. I always imagine scenery like this and can never draw it, but you depict all of your environments so beautifully! This is a wonderful picture~

The... perspective confuses me, but then trying to do perspective makes me nuts, it is Not my strong suit.
I look at this piece, and my view starts from the left to the right, just a note as to how I'm looking at this; and that it starts from left to right is not surprising, as I am scrolling to view the whole picture in full view.
I liked the texture of the trees, a little loose in some parts maybe [some of the branches for example] but I found the bark of the closest tree quite interesting; a little odd though the area where it roots itself into the ground, my current opinion at least -- maybe that's because it seems to "dissipate" into the ground, kind of fade away in a slightly ethereal fashion, the shadows there don't reflect the shadows of the same tree higher on the trunk. The tree behind it on the right might also be a little too green for my liking, I'm not sure, or maybe it's because it seems More green lower in the trunk due to the downward angle of the branch in front of it and the loose painting of the leaves on that branch melting into the tree behind?
The scene at the top right corner seems out of place to me. Of this particular aspect, I am very unsure of what to say [made even worse as I'm not entirely sure of my stand in opinion on this in fact]. But, I'm not Entirely sure where that scene is in relation to the rest of the picture, it feels a little detached to me in its slightly confused position [to me].
Is it an extension/part of the cliff? On that idea -- The cliff seems to have stopped in the middle ground of the picture, bending back to the left; if it bent again to the right and led to the scene in the top left. I would have thought there be a little more of a hint of shadow cast on the rock-side of the cliff. And the positioning of the... rocks? Mounds? The shapes seem a little uniform, I'm not sure if that was intentional, and they seem to line the cliff edge in a more purposed arrangement.
Or is the scene behind everything, level with the ground of orange flowers? I would have thought it would be positioned lower on the "canvas"... though I suppose if that were to be done, it would have been greatly obscured and hidden by the trees in front of it.
I like the... "loose" style of the picture, it doesn't seek to overwhelm in detail but has a softer quality to it, and hints of mist in the far background on the left. And I kind of like the small part we can see of the lake [I think that's a lake, with a hint of reflection of a tree trunk but I almost didn't notice it].
