your dragon doesnt have an interesting silhouette, its just like a tapering tube with a little point of the side, i'll provide you some examples of cool dragons that read as purely silhouettes

You could do a similar idea to what you have, just have the dragon have a cool or spikey shape that is appealing. His wings look floppy, and lack anatomy and function, the form of the spikes are not following the edge of the back, the rider looks cool, reminds me of fenghua zhong a bit. Take a page out of his book, he has great designs too, the whole image has to be top notch
Again its just drawing thats gonna hold you up the most; all the color and composition wont make up for a lack of design and foundation; Think, is this the coolest silhouette shape for a dragon i can concieve of right now? if no, spend that time banging out one with the most primitive shapes and values you can until that alone is inspiring :)
