Well there's a lot to be said about this piece. First off, before I get too critical it does look generally alright. The overall look of trying to achieve a night style scene is decent however there's much that can be done to improve the actually look of it being night and whatnot. So I shall start now...
The "moon" I'm assuming is what is reflecting light onto the surfaces below. For it being a moon it's awfully bright. Since I'll just assume that this isn't meant to be an alien planet, earth's moon could never naturally produce that much of a reflection from the sun. So you need to tone down the light coming from the moon there. The water isn't bad, at least the water not touching the land. The reflection is pretty good and it looks as though there are actually ripples or small waves formed on the surface refracting the light from the moon. However the water touching the land looks too fine. As if there is a barrier cutting the water off at one point on the land. So that needs to be somehow smoothed out. Plus what I'm assuming is more reflection by the water near the shore looks too much like ice to me. Maybe it is? I don't think it is though, so that needs to be smoothed out, or have the light lessened on it to make it look more believeable as though it's a reflection not ice. Your horizon is too bright too. You need to match your color of the horizon more to the color of the sky. On a digression here, the mountainous terrain on the left actually looks like it's within the night and not an awkward day. The shadows and darkness on it look really fluid and flowing together. However the rest of the scene looks more like a bright night time or something. So that's what I can pick from all of this. One more thing though...if you haven't already set it to a higher level...then next time you render a picture it'll help much more if you set the level at which it renders the picture higher so it looks more natural, or as if it's a photo. The shilouette of the mountains in the background are looking a little "staticy". But it's still generally alright, there's just some major and minor things that need fixing to make it look really good. Keep it up!

i believe that sulik made some very valid points there.... but to touch up on the one he said about the water touching meeting the ground...
perhaps you could add a few shallow puddles of some sort to show the after affect of the tides?
would, in my opinion, show better time affects.
other then that i believe sulik did a marvelous job as an editor 
it does look stupendous by far but just like many others work improvement is never a bad thing 
Keep up the great work!

Looking from a natureristic as well as artistic view, this piece is quite overwhelming and rich in visual effects. When I first came accross this piece, it instantly caught grasp my attention to stop for admiration. Of course, I'm a big fan of futureristic fantasyl like art-I find it in some ways soothing to the eye and mind. It is made with a great deal of detail and a very calm, soothing atmosphere. At the same time however, it can be quite a scene for isolation and creepy island where only brave enter and the strong survive for whatever challenges the island has to give....so yes, I believe is versatille in its interpretation. I defenetly give this piece the props.
