Hi there! I see you're doing some kind of dreamy landscape here. I'm not entirely sure if the perspective you're working with is intentional to help add to the surrealism of the piece? If its not, maybe you can work it in here. A suggestion would be to add a subject closer to the foreground? As of the moment, it seem pretty flat, try to establish a tonal range from foreground to background to add that ounce of depth to your scene. You can lighten your tones to push that land mass to the background as well as the moon, if thats what your trying to achieve.
I would assume that the blue bits on the lower area are water? If that is a waterfall or another water source, you might want to use a different brush. To me it looks more like fur than anything else atm. If it is something like a waterfall, you can add white froth at the bottom part where the water from the falls hits the water on the ground.
Is this some sort of flippy flippy image where the top half depicts once scene, the lower half depicts another? If thats the effect you want to achieve, maybe you should go with a mirrored look for your elements as opposed to having the sun and the moon at opposite ends. Hope this helps :)

I'm not really sure what I see here, but I'll give it a shot :)
I like the moon-side with what looks like snow falling down and those dead trees on the left and the cloudy sky. But since the clouds are in no way covering the moon, it looks like it's in front of them (which could be on purpose, I don't know). Also, cover your moon-half landscape in some snow, I'd say, unless the snow is actually supposed to be stars :D but then they wouldn't be so bright, since 1. the moon is brighter than stars and 2. they should be covered by clouds. So I prefer the snow scenario. Also you could use some colour on the rocks, maybe some dark blue in the shadows or so. What is the ground made of? Are those rocks? I believe seeing trees, so they wouldn't be entirely grey.
On the sunny side, I'd say the same thing: Add some colour! Maybe only to the reflections in the water, but I guess this would help a lot separating the two parts. You're water's not grey either, so this would only make sense.
Is the sun supposed to be a reflection? If so, it wouldn't be round, in perspective it would become an oval. And those lines from the water movement would follow the "horizon", they would be in the same angle as the water's edge.
I hope this helped and that I understood your image at least a little =)
thank you both for your insight,
i really appreciate you both helping me out like this. i'll upload some close up view of the drawing tomorrow (i'm dead tired right now, just had a full day of work)... but thank you once again, i read both comments and it helped me out with some point's that i was thinking of earlier in the drawing phase.

Glad we could help! Just brighten up the moon, I guess that'll help already =)
