Well, in terms of lighting Your main light source appears to be from top left in the fog but the log is lit from above and the right. So make your lighting more consistent. You could also think about adding some bounce light from that stream on the underside of the trunk and on other objects as it is also a light source. Would give it a more magical feel. I think that spear really breaks the composition where it is. Javier already addressed that in his nice thumb. Maybe move it so it is planted near the shrine or up the foreground bank a little so we can see it planted, and hit It with some light....but then the whole focus of the composition probably should change and again we are getting into how do we make your illustration better territory. If you really want to keep the spear there, well, perhaps render it more and make it more interesting a design and silhouette, as it is pretty much as plain as it gets at the moment but you won't be doing "the image" any favours just by rendering it up.
