You've definitely got a decent start here. Your sound design could definitely use some work though. That main lead is quite thin. Those chords you have coming in at 2:26 could be bigger. More epic. Think something along the lines of Super 8 & Tab - No Frontiers.

The kick is also quite thin. It kind of just gets lost in the mix.

I can definitely see the direction you were going with this. I am quite new to producing as well. Keep up the hard work, your tracks will become more polished with time and practice.

The idea is not bad...

Try layering your sounds, it sounds a bit mono(ish) right now...Adding a sub bass would definitely liven up the whole feel of the chords...

Your kick needs to be louder. Work on balancing the track. The synths are all to loud in the intro. They also sounds WAYYYYY too dry for progressive trance. Get some reverb on those babies! Get them nice and wet! I don't think it sounds monoish considering that those sustained saw waves you got going on are in pretty wide stereo. I do agree though that this track is DEFINITELY lacking sub bass.

Musically I feel it's lacking. I'm happy to hear chords for a start. However, I can tell that you don't really have your harmony down yet. Learn some music theory. Seriously it will help you a lot. Specifically diatonic harmony. Just youtube that and it will make your chord progressions sound sooooooooo much better.
