Thank you! If you are inclined, I would love if you offered your thoughts on how this could be better! It is a piece from awhile ago so I myself can definitely see points of improvement, but I would always appreciate hearing additional feedback! No pressure of course if you have no time

Keep rocking on

My apologies for the late answer :G
Anyways...

Okay... here i go...

Point 1
The cliff in the foreground is not equally illuminated, what do i mean with this? well.... this.
scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v…
And you may asking, why of this? well... the light rays should go equally in all the sides. Remember, that the foreground is a small portion of that area, not an extense area (if not... is good, but it doesn't look like that, atleast for me), and hence it should have the same amount of light as the rest of the area (unless there's something in between, very close to that area)
Look at this badly made sketch i made of your landscape, so you can udnerstand what im saying.
scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v…


Point 2
That illuminated area of the same cliff, in the left corner, doesn't seem to have much sense, since there's that other cliff where the model is posing or resting or whatever xd, so, that area should have shadows (I think you should have flipped the lighting of the cliff in 180, so it could fit in the scene better :H). At least imo.
If you still don't know what area im talking about...
scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v…

Point 3
That "fog"(they look more like clouds), near the left corner.
scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v…
are illuminated even though it has that cliff in front of it, so it doesn't make sense
(I know what you were trying to do, but... those clouds or fog look far in the distance, not near the cliff. Also, keep in mind what i said in the point 2, about that area near the left corner of the cliff).
Also, the area where there are no shadows, that area where the light rays are going through doesn't seem to reflect ANYTHING on the fogs or clouds right there.
This area and the ones near it.
scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v…
They look like if they are less illuminated (i don't know if it's the contrast of colours, i think it is hehe... but it does look like the left area is brighter than the center and right area). At this point i think you're doing everything on the contrary (jk, xd )
Also, idk if they are clouds or fog, im pretty sure those are fog, but i can be wrong, so...
As i always say... references are everything, so... always use them ^^
Here are some:
previews.123rf.com/images/kote…
s2.best-wallpaper.net/wallpape…

Extra tip.
This is not necessary at all, but if you want to add more "magic" than your artwork already has, you can add some light beams.
Here an example.
www.blogdelfotografo.com/wp-co…
But don't exagerate, otherwise it'll look fake and, instead of adding good looking results, it can enworse it! but personally, i prefer experimentation, so you can add whatever light beams you like and see references to guide yourself
Also, when doing this, remember to compare the artwork with light beams, so you can decide with looks better.

Point 4
That illuminated area in the cliff where the girl is posing (is it yourself? xd, okay it doesnt matter :F)
Ehh... i know what you were trying to do, but it kinda doesn't make sense since that area looks like its behind the "light impact area". Idk if i explained myself good xd, but... the point is that the area should be shady and only the edges of it should have lighting.
I suggest you to use references.
static1.squarespace.com/static…
(sorry, is the only and "best" i could find that could fit your scene, i could have found more but my internet is a shit)

Point 5
The sky lighting looks fake, IMO. And with this i mean the transition from the "sun light sky" to the night sky doesn't look real.
As the Sun is closer to the horizon, light must pass through a growing portion of the atmosphere to reach us. The color of the Sun changes first to orange, then to red. This is due to the fact that the short wavelengths (blue, green) are increasingly dispersed, and only the reddest light reaches us. In your case, you used blue color, but... the reflection of light in the atmosphere makes the sky blue by day if the rays of light are going through less distance. Of all the wavelengths of light, those that deviate the most when hitting the atmosphere are blue and violet. This deviation makes them arrive in a dispersed way, as if they came from all over the sky. Hence the color of this.
If you still dont understand what i mean, here... and image worth more than 1000 words...
victorhut.files.wordpress.com/…
So, in summary, when the sunlight/ray lights are crossing greater distances, sunlight collides with a greater number of particles and loses energy, because only the reddest light reaches us. When less distances, less number of particles and such to go through, blue sky colour, and when vicerse, reddish colour.

 (I really hope i have explained myself good with this one xd).


Here some references, so you can see what i mean...
scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v…
scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v…
scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v…


Also, the "milky way" sky (i guess is the milky way xd), or star night sky looks completely separated from the artwork. I mean, it doesn't fit with the artwork because it contrast a lot with the artwork, it looks like if it doesn't belong to the artwork, because it looks like a photomontage, looks very different from the parts you painted, and you can clearly see it looks different from that (i hope i explained myself good in this one, heh...).



Well, i guess that's everything, yeah ^^

It could be funny if you could bring some references and say "look at this! you were wrong about what you said!", so i can shut my mouth up, and also learn from those references too xd.

I hope this help you ^^

Sorry for the bad english :S

Keep improving and rocking on!

Thank you very much for the detailed critique! I have read everything through and digested it all; I'm afraid I don't have time to reply to each point in detail but really do appreciate it! I will especially keep in mind using better references for fog
