You shouldn't cry on a corner , because that enviro is quite cool. The only crit I have for that one is that the trunk/foliage ratio is kind of weird, it feels unatural and that takes away from the feel of the painting, maybe some flora studies would help :)
The new CHOW designs are cool, but I prefer the leather ones, and if you do too just go for it! the contest is for fun, so just have fun!
On the thing about layering, I feel that the problem is not atmospheric but more of an edge issue, the middleground edges are as hard as the foreground, even more due to the contrast with the background, so toning them down in those specific areas, instead of just using a more general atmospheric effect would improve the layering I feel, I made another really lame overpaint to make my point, the result isn't really great cause I'm lame but I think you get what I mean:
keep the cool stuff coming ;D
