But seeing as you want a critique, i would say that the only thing i am not satisfied with is the blurring on the red knight in the foreground. He's blurred so much that it takes a moment to realize that it is actually a person and not a hill or something that the orc is climbing over. I get that the blurring gets progressively more pronounced as you go out from the orc's face, but maybe back the intensity of a bit?
Its better to see a good render tastefully blended and blurred than a blurred-out image that hints at having been a good render once.
This is just my opinion, and as i have not jumped into the crucible of public critique (i am too much of a perfectionist to ever "finish" any of my works), feel free to completely disregard everything I say.

Thank you sir for your thoughts. I should have done more splatter work I was trying to go for a look of "like sand in the wind. I did not want the Knight to be the focus point for this piece that is why less of him is seen. Very little blur was done here I did more smugging than blurring here. I will try an tweak this one a bit more when I find the time. Once again thank you for your thoughts ALL

To address Braxis's concerns, make a copy of the layer with the knight and then blur it, then erase all that you don't want. Make the edges fuzzy but keep the sharp edges where you want them. Works for me anyway.
Very nice work though!

Other than that great job. It's a hard render to work with.
