    I'd say the overall perspective needs bit more clearing up. I can see what you're going for, but more dramatic sense of scale between foreground and midground (e.g: bring down horizon line and make stuff in foreground bigger) would help...I think. Also more value difference to suggest that sense of depth and scale, for instance, the rock and two people standing on the rock can use lighter shades of black so it would really push it further from the foreground.

    I'd say try different brushes or size up the brushstroke in general until you really get into the fine detail level, to make things look more blocky (if that makes sense at all?) for more coherence. 

    Take my words with caution, I'm not a master in this stuff neither :D hope it did somewhat of a constructive feedback.
