If that black thing is supposed to be a burnt tree, it needs some work. At the moment it's far to mechanical to be a thing of nature, I would add curves to the outstretched limbs and make said limbs a tad longer. And while the hand technique is creative, I think it should be used sparingly, as too many of them makes it look less like a tree and more like some odd telescope-type thing, given the context of the creation.
Other than that, though, it's fairly good. The landscaping's fairly decent, though there's only so much you can do with a vignette, and the colors are fairly well-spread out. My only real complaint besides the trees would be the cracks in the prison wall, which look less like cracks and more like gaps created out of laziness, no offense intended. I would try working with mere discoloration rather than gaps, as that might get the effect across a little better.
