It seems like you have put Carboluka's feedback to good use. This is very emotional and beautiful. I really feel like it ends very abrupt. A good outtro would work well with this soundscape thing you got going on. I like the subtle tempo automation, cus that makes it feel more dynamic. At some points your violin sound really synthetic though, but I guess that the sound selection is a thing that will improve over time. Great job.

The inspiration for this Classical Soundscape came from xcrosspicture's piece titled Golden Plains
I've always been inspired by landscape art, but this one in particular caught my eye. The repetition of the stone structures and winding path along the grassy plains was the basis for the repeating guitar melody which is the foundation of my composition. The soundscape element was inspired by the brush strokes of the grass as it gave me the impression of a breeze blowing through the grass along with the flags attached to the stone structures.
The nature sounds were sourced from Freesound.org creative commons.
*please note since I was unable to contact the artist I instead used a different image for the CD Icon*
Track 4 from A Stream of Sound Album
This has really great potential: really somber and warm guitar playing, beautiful arpeggio, and the repetition of the motif to recall the repeting landscape.
The mixing is almost there, but for now it sounds like there is no solid hierarchy among instruments, so they keep muffling each other (the ambient noise too).
The sound selection is good, but the violin isn't giving this track justice at all; besides sounding pretty choppy, maybe the orchestral violin doesn't fit too much with the folkloristic vibe overall: if you have a solo violin in your sound library i recommend you give it a try!
Good luck :)

I took your advice and adjusted the mix. I swapped out the string ensemble VST for a Solo Violin, and a Solo Viola (I couldn't choose between the two so I chose both.) I then put a maximiser on the guitar since its the foundation and basis of the track (It was the only real instrument utilised for the composition and the first instrument used.)
It’s very majestic, though at some points the strings are a bit choppy and don’t sound well. But either wise, a very straightforward piece that fits well with the image!
Edit: Practice is key! I’m not perfect either! Just check out my song odd house for example! It needs work, but it’s fun to listen to! Thanks for understanding, @Flamadour
Flamadour responds:
Thanks for the review and kind words. And yes the strings are a bit choppy, I'm still getting used to utilising VST Instruments in my compositions. I mostly improvised the backing strings and wasn't sure how long to hold the notes for. Hopefully with more practice I'll get better at implementing them in future compositions.
