I'll start with the colors themselves. I advise you to have a color wheel printed out so you can see it at all times. Different combinations make things pop more, and even rainbow colorists have a theme and certain saturation. I'll give you an example of what I mean: [link]
In this watercolor, PurpleKecleon uses different colors but they seem similar, because they have the same tone. In your piece it is really wild, with harsh reds with soft blue and cyan.
It looks like the background you colored while it was wet the whole time. Have you tried layering colors over when it's dried? If you don't want to wait, keep a blowdryer next to you. When you add colors into the sky while it is still wet, it will glob up colors and make them super dark and some obscure shade of black/brown. That is because all your colors were moved by the water, and it looks like you had a thick brush and slopped it on the background.
I'm not saying at all this piece is bad, but it was crazy to look at. It is hard to tell what is the sky and the (cliff? rock? Thing on fire) is.
