Anyway, the thing that bothers me the most are the solid, simple colors. I am thinking of adding some variations, but I don't know if I should do it a the end as an overall texture or something, or if I should do it for each of the color layers...Suggestions?

And I don't know about the tree trunks yet...I going to sleep over it!
heh.. got to have tree trunks....

As for the solid simple colors, I think it looks fairly nice. If you want a bit more variety, one thing you could do is cross color on the mountain layer, ie, put some white on the dark side of the mountains and a bit of dark over on the light side. If you want it not quite as harsh, you can (should) use the smudge tool to smudge it up. I have played with this since reading a tutorial and love the technique.
