I didn't like it because it looked "electric" but then I read what the theme was and thought, wow.

Will probably increase the color count, but the water droplet on the leaf in the foreground could be a lot nicer if it had a shade of blue to it.

You should have probably worked on SNES games way back when, if you were born back then.

I toned down the yellowness of the greens in the image and added some blue to the water drops like Stephen suggested. 28 colors now.

You could probably do it better than I did, but I think it looks slightly better this way.

EDIT: actually the leaf on the left in the middle could use with some re-yellowing. But the mound to the right of it (I can't tell what it is. Is it a cliff with a road on it?) was definitely too yellow before.

I actually prefer your edit. The colors were bothering me before for some reason. Nice little peace of work though for sure, Elk.

The problem is you have a scene that mainly consists of green/yellow and brown, then this bright ass blue that steals the show.

Hmm... what did Helm call it... ah yes, palette unification. You need to include the blue throughout the picture so that colors like that don't stand out.

There are many ways to do that, but I don't think this is the way. They are really dominating the scene and it's hard to notice anything else.

Oh, guess I should also state after going over it, it doesn't really SCREAM electricity. I don't know why, but it looks a lot more natural than it does unnatural. The only thing not natural I notice are the lights coming from the branches and the road... the lights don't look unnatural, they actually look very natural, and perhaps like a sort of natural phenomenon(think fluorescent lighting).
The flowers, which you said are the main focus, look like flowers to me.
