ok, now my criticism..
When i look at it, my focus is drawn to the cat, which i don't think is the focus, the focus is most likely the kid, so i think you need to work on standing him out a little better, it will be tough since the kid is right next to something so highly detailed...so either you will need to put more of a shadow on the kid, darken the tree, or have some invisible guide pointing to him, be it color direction or vines, or whatever....
The text needs alot of work, to me the text looks kind of lazy compared the illustration, i would try out centered type, smaller type, bigger type, and maybe type without the texture on it. don't be afraid to try things just because you don't think they may look right, because you never know what you'll find....
I might also recommend taking out the dark part of the tree on the left that's behind the whole thing, it can very easily be one branch with branches extending from it...
And the last thing, maybe try a solid background, just to see if you like it or not.
that's all from me.
