Hehe, no no. I meant for practising, the last two days ive been painting 100%, without using photos
The sky is super high in contrast where the landscape isn't. Try to have a better balance. Use the most contrast and saturation where you want the viewer to look at, for example the car. Right now the sky screams for attention.
Also the scale seems to be rather off. It looks like the car is at about the same distance like the houses on the right and left. Which is confusing, because the house to the right is way smaller.
You could get a lot more out of it if you concentrate more on composition, color/values and especially contrast.
Think more about Light vs dark, soft edges vs hard edges. Especially the tree, the house to the left and the power pole are getting lost because they all have a very similar value. Having things overlapping each other is very good, but you need to be careful that they don't get lost in a dark blob.
Don't bother with integrating Photos/textures too much. Focus more on the important things (basics) first! You can always go in later and add some detail with photos etc, but every image needs a good 'foundation'. Keep it up!
btw, your work is very good, i saw your web. Congratulations, nice work!
