The first thing I noticed about this piece of work is its calm surroundings. You portrayed this quite well. As another artist, I usually think that dark backgrounds are usually harder to draw. However, I think this came out pretty well.
Another thing I noticed straight away: the ocean waves. Those were really well laid out.
Now, to the real critique. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Just in the lower half of this piece, is that the moon’s reflection? If it is, I don’t think it’s quite… proportional. ahahaha, I don’t know if that’s the word, but I can’t think of anything else. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="
" title="Wink/Razz"/> ANYWAY, in my point of view, it seems like the moon is too low for its reflection to be in the small pool near the viewer’s view.
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="
" title="
(Wink)"/> What I’m saying is that if you want the reflection in that pool, you should make the moon just a teeny bit higher.

Overall, I think this piece of work really reflected what you wanted it to be: calm and intense at the same time.

Almost looks like an alien planet. That starry sky is AMAZING, I liked the purpley gray color you used in it! And look at that moon! The plant in the water looks so creative and unique, kinda like an octopus. lol

wow, this is fantastic but one thing i noticed was that there's this little round dark scribble up above the moon, but it's barely visible though.

Gaaaaah, your backgrounds are amazing. Whenever I try, they're all screwy and look cheezy. I guess that I should practice more...
Love it <3
But I think that you should smudge the moon's reflection on the water just a tad to give the water's surface some tension/shape/ripples/whatever. I'm stupid
