Landscape geometry is good (as usual).
I would say the grass placement needs to be in better places.
Around the bases of the cacti, and along the edges of the pipes (maybe with a
directional bias)
More variation in the size, orientation, and geometery of the cacti.
Some other stuff on the ground.  Dead cactus detritus.  Rocks.  Stuff.

The rust - needs to be better - but that's been a challenge with every scene for
the last 30 years.
What if you used some Granite21 a as a base, with a layer of a semi-transmitting
filtering bozo with the appropriate reds/blacks/yellows

The birds are excellent.
The sky and fog are looking good.

Agree with Ingo about some of the compositional aspects - centering, Rule of
Thirds, etc.

Maybe find a way to desaturate the person - he "pops" too much to fit into the
rest of the composition.  Maybe just put a bit of fog between him and the
camera... something.

Good to see more of the good ole' TdG scenery again!  :)
