The landscape could have benefitted from the use of layers, where parts of the land overlap... well, it's obvious, and other artists will notice it.
Try to vary your brush size and forms. The texture of the ground is as if it was sculpted out of a single substance. The ground of course has boulders, shrubs, things that make it inconsistent. If you can't think of specific things, develop some interesting brushes and resort to them every now and then. Keep comparing to photos and paintings, mimic the randomness in them.
The structure in the background is plain, flat. You should collect sources and come up with a fantastic design for it, it doesn't really take very long and it teaches you more than just rushing through a design. Don't forget to throw in some evidence of perspective.
This painting is evidence that you can do all these things. So next time, just do 'em.
