Transformation of the Painting

I picked up a cool red / purple to create a different feeling in the shadows and the details of the painting.  It was intended to help create the feeling of atmospheric perspective.

At this point in the painting I felt like I had to create a feeling of separation between the bluffs in the foreground, the middle ground, and the background.

 
To create a better feeling of distance I lightened the cliffs in the distance.  Reducing the saturation of the cliffs helped the reading of the entire painting although I did like the colors better before I scrumbled the light violet pastel over them.
