Gosh Dana, I dunno if I've ever told you this before, but you're probably the ONE person I know on DA who can made pre-made grass brushes actually look GOOD. I LOVE your meadow scenes! They're soo... lush! It's so cool 
Plus, your characters are so vibrant and delightful. It's like a playful awesome photoshoot 
Not sure if you were asking for critique or not, but since you're my friend and because I love yuh, I'm giving you some anyway. Plus I'm pretty sure you can handle it XD. lol.
This is some advice I've given a lot of my friends here over the years, including Michelle and Samantha (=fictionist). You've got some really good motion and flow going with the mane and tail, as well as some awesome textures
The next step would be to start working outside of the confines of your line art, and adding little individual stands and wisps. Hair plays in funny random ways, so don't be afraid to make a little random crazy squiggle from time to time 
.
Next would be the depth of field. Everything looks great until you get to the mountains and the clouds. Parts of the clouds look a little bit sharper than the mountains. A quick fix to that would just be to put a quick Gaussian blur on your clouds layer. 
And lastly, I'm going to let you in on an awesome trick with water. I'm not sure if it would work well in this picture [it's sometimes hit and miss] but here you go anyway:
1st, take either a stock of water ripples/reflections OR grab some water brushes like these: [link]
2nd, place either the texture or the brush (big enough to fill the desired area, color white) on a new layer above your painted water.
3rd, put the layer on overlay, multiply, screen, or soft light (depending on which looks best). Play with opacity and sometimes a Gaussian blur.
End: easy realistic water

Thanks for teh crit Cricks! 
What you've said is super helpful! 
Hehe I'm really not good with painting brushes and trees or any kind of foliage, that's why I'm so glad we have brushes. 
So I'm glad they don't look too bad! 
I get what you're saying about the mane and tails, adding random wisps of hair. It's something I always see, and love, but always forget!
But I will remember for my future works! I'll also remember the depth of field, I'm such a freak about it when it comes to photography that I should be a freak when it comes to art! Usually I do blur the background a bit, altho this one I didn't, and looking at it, I think you're right, it'd work with this background cus it's so detailed. Eeeeeeek! Thank you for those brushes! 
The ones I have now are a little uninspiring, but those are fantastic! I'm totally gonna get them and play! 
Thank you so much! Now I want to draw and put it all into play!
