Not sure if you still wanna hear people's thoughts, but here comes anyway:

I really like how the sunrays burst through the dragon's breath, but IMHO would be nicer if it was a bit more easily seen.

The more I look at the knight, the more I start to like how he looks. The dragon's head is great, too. Someone mentioned how the creature looked more powerful when it had those huge hind legs as its fore legs. I have to agree on that :)

Just in case you didn't notice, the knight has pretty sharp a shadow compared to those of the dragon and the rocks...

This picture belongs to a fairytale book, on the same page with the pic of the pretty princess.

That's such a nice picture, though I think the knights helmet is a bit goofy. No offense, but I love the dragons underbelly...it looks so hard and thick.

Gecko, I read comments gladly.
Shadows are now stronger in rocks but I don't wanna destroy arms...

Very nice painting, bg! Your lighting is really nice. The dragon and smoke are excellent - plus the godrays going through the smoke!
One thing that might help is the following:

Since the light is coming in quite shallow you'd probably have some detail in the near ground. Same goes for the shadows of the rocks - they'd be quite distinct and hard edged, like the knight's shadow.

I'd make the rocks more jagged too. Just because they look quite smooth now.

As for the knight, you could kick up the highlights that would bounce off the left arm and glove, the helmet, where the sword doesn't keep it from bouncing off and the top of his feet/boots.

I'd really like to see more of the cool wing. Looks really neat.

Rock on - and good luck for the assembly!
