I like the perspective on the dragon, but the framing of the trees doesn't work. It reminds me of a fade-out with a wreath that they normally do for very family oriented Christmas shows, lol. If you weave the trees in a little more, make them cut across a little, you could even make them subtly point more at the dragon, then this would be very successful. As it stands now, the highest area of contrast is right along the outer bits of the branches, and the swooping U shape here takes your eye on the one side, to the bottom, and back out the top without stopping on your main focus. There's some pull with the wing's highlights, but it all competes.
Sorry to just kinda...wander in here and spit out critique, but it seems like you might've been getting frustrated with this picture a little and I actually had an answer, lol.

Thats fine I appreciate some actually helpful advice every now and then XD Very rarely does someone actually crack down and say whats wrong. I noticed the whole wreath thing but I didnt want to spend too much time on it considering how slow I work as it is and this was supposed to be a speed paint. If I get really into a picture it can take me a month to finish it as my featured submission did XD Thanks as critiques are always welcome :)
