The LH side is too bright, and too empty as far as visual flow. You have a tapered...

Some very nice work.

But your poor lighting is ruining all your efforts.

The sky contrast is too desaturated, and too contrasty. The black clouds on the LH side drag the eye's attention.

Well, I'll admit, painting such a strong light souce from off to the left, while showing a strong sunset from behind IS pretty magical...Oversaturated? Most definitely. Believable? No way.

Some really nice work!

It's just too dark, and the moon dominates everything except the explosions.

Why not put the clouds behind the right side, and USE that refraction of the moonlight to better illuminate this scene?...
