So detailed! I wish I could go into details like that... I get an itch whenever I pass the 2 hours spent on one work...
The rocks are awesome!

This work has some problems though.
The shadows need to be a bit darker, even if you like detailing everything, some areas should be left totally dark or only suggested
The top of the right (dark) cliff should be lit by the beams, this would have helped close the perspective. The way it is now, the eye goes from the sun, to the river, effectively missing out the rest of the painting (or up the hill and out, which loses the river)
If the light came off from the center, the big river cliff would have come out dark, and the other one light, making the eye bottleneck to the river and down.
The river doesn't really have direction. Even one this big needs flow lines, vertical ones, and not wave-like horizontal ones. The waves of the current wouldn't hit both sides equally either, as the hit side directs the rest of the current.
The color of the trees themselves is rather milky, at this light they should be dark, but with bright green leaves shining through.
