Nice take, I like the structures, you went with, very simple orchestral elements, there is some super meat boy/celeste section like at 25 secs, really cool change of pace. I would've like the ending to be a little more different than the intro. its nice to repeat some section to give a sense of going back home but I think a bit more variations would give a ncie touch
Mixing: The panning is indeed better than from what you previously did, I agree for the reverb everything seems a bit too far away in general. The piano could get some EQ especially the left hand playing in the mid range, there is some annoying fequency that can be tone down. Hard part is also getting the mid strings with brass and piano togheter, which is why the panning helps a lot and again some EQ. In terms of mastering, the whole thing could get bumped in volume with a nice limiter on the master track, you have some headroom to do so without peaking anything.
Good job !

Thank you so much FoxHyode for the feedback! This is really useful information. Yeah, before I submitted the song I pulled everything down because it was going to high, but it was to late before I noticed. Using EQ will help and a limiter also. Good advice. Still getting a hang on how much reverb to put! Yes, it is far sounding indeed. Thank you!
