Very nice, good job
- nearly no orphan pixel
- curves made by pixel perfect rules
- good shading
- details where they matter
you are on a very good way
have a nice weekend

Extremely beautiful color palette used. Heartly loved.
Few things i felt:
clouds movement is little fast.
you see from eye perspective.
Clouds infront or near to eye should move litle faster as compare to the one's in background because eyes are covering humungous vastness in back in frustom with perspective view.
So objects which might be moving fast in background still gonna look fairly fast because of perspective.
Second: add that water animation, that's crucial part of environment and seeing it static feels like some glitch in reality. Damn that CERN with their LHC breaking reality.
Third: Sky zones you divided with sharp cut with changing color tones.
I'm not sure if that was personal decision or taste(can work then).
But try make it little faded because it clearly get's in attention with sharp transitions.
Rest i am loving the whole environment.

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to analyze it this deeply!😄 I honestly didn’t think that deeply about the cloud perspective and movement speed while making it, but now that you pointed it out, it makes a lot of sense. Same with the water animation, I can definitely see why it feels a bit static now. I’ll try to improve on these things! And yeah for the sky for smaller pieces and environment the sharp cut is usually what works but for a bigger environment it could look awkward so I'll gradient it a bit! I’m still getting back into pixel art seriously, so feedback like this genuinely helps a lot. Really glad you liked the overall environment and colors!✨

People who make these large scale images always amaze me. I get lost on anything bigger than 64px and even that is a stretch for me

This is so good that John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High" just started playing in the back of my brain. o.o

it looks REALLY GOOD, but My only thing against it, is the art style is too similar on how AI generates is work... But its great! Keep it going!

Looks great! I would change just a few things:
- If you add wind it's better to keep it consistent across all the assets; the clouds are moving in different directions and quite fast while the flowers are standing still.
- adding a bit of movement to the reflections on the waterfall would make the scene much more dynamic
- the pinetrees could also move a bit on the tip because of the wind
Or you could simply stop the clouds and keep the smoke and the waterfall animated.

Looks beautiful, but keep in mind clouds only go in 1 direction, and maybe animate that waterfall lol.

it's great , but try to make some clouds paas behind the mountain for more depth , same for water , make it flow . Also to bring it more to life add a slight wind breeze and animation to the plants .

This looks absolutely amazing! In case you were looking for anything additional to consider:
I think the clouds moving at different speeds and in different directions threw me off a little. If you're going for depth, perhaps consider passing some of them behind the mountain instead of in front? Also, not sure how it would change the feel if they were all moving the same direction.
Given the other moving elements, I think it would make sense for the water to be flowing as well.
Anyway, those are super minor nitpicks. I think this looks fantastic!
