Okay, from all the critique I've received I've made some pretty big revisions.
I've adjusted the colors dramatically (thanks Monkeybread!), I've also changed the forground rocks as the paintover really helped me understand how to add more depth to my paintings. I've simplified the background mountains, here and on Facebook that was the change everyone had mentioned so I took out the detail and made them shapes, it helped a ton.
I was told the dragon face was kind of boring so I opened his mouth and many people really liked it so I ran with that. I've leaned the rider forward more and added a cape-like thing to help show that the dust is coming from blowing wind/movement. THere have been more revisions also.
I feel that I'm getting close to finishing this but I've got a lot of cleanup to do, just figured I'd post it up for any last minute critique.
Thanks again for everyones help, I feel this composition, color, etc is a lot more dynamic than before.
