Thanks guys, these comments help a ton! I have been struggling with the mountains in the background, originally they where way more detailed than the foreground so I removed a ton of the detail, I'll remove some more and see how that goes.
I have repainted the arm on the rock five times now, I haven't been happy with it at all, maybe I'll just remove the rock all together but I also fear of making the scene too empty. I like the idea of having the rider more engaged in action, I think I'll adjust that which will probably help with fitting the staff in the scene also, after all, with that much dust, he would probably be moving pretty quick.
That paintover helped a lot also, I'll try applying some of these things into the scene and see if I can push this further. To me, it feels like it has a ton of potential and I just can't put what I'm thinking of down in paint. Plus, the fact that I'm ridiculously slow at painting doesn't help.
