This is one of my first nature renders, and i'd love some critique and suggestions on how to improve!
Very nice, Rin!
The first thing that jumps out at me as a bit distracting is the opacity of the god rays; they don't quite make sense with the clarity of the more distant landscape elements. If there's that much particulate matter in the air, I'd expect the distant hill and trees to show more atmospheric effect. The way you've got it now, it looks almost like a lens flare. I'd either tone down those rays quite a bit, or add more atmospherics to the background.
Also, the four trees on the left seem to have identical profiles, with the right-most one's roots not quite touching the ground. Simply rotating each of them a bit should help hide the fact that they are the same tree, or even better, use a few more models.
Those are both definitely nit-picks, though. This is a lovely shot.
