Hello Fifi!
Just be prepared for my crazy ideas, mkay? 
And I probably will sound quite harsh. It's just that I'm a pedantic freak who can probably think of a billion or more things to change on any pictures here.
Well I would think the sun is far to wide, and the content of the picture looks rather cliche "a sunset on the hills" kind of thing that people try to draw when they have no ideas.
So you could make the sun rather smaller, and use a lower opacity brush, or "intensity" as they call it in this program, and make rather more smoother transitions. Also, if the sun were to be that red, more likely that not, the plain beneath it should really be more like a savanna. Shimmers from the heat could help around the most hot areas of the sun too, and there could be a bit of difference in the terrain.
Hope this helps.
(which it won't. It's too complicated. I talk too much. )

I really like your design! My friend used the laptop mousepad for his picture as well. That's probably got to be harder than any of the other available tools. I like what you came up with. The star of david is suggested very well by your positive shapes. You seem to be a natural!  |

| I think laptop mousepad is better than simple using a statndart 3-button mouse(like me)) Anyway, it's ok! |
