Well some might think it looks like the sun rising, well its not suppose to be the sun, its suppose to be some kind of spirit, or wisp.. A huge light floating around the mountains at night.. :).
Anyway, Critz please :).

Well, if you're going for a night-ish feeling, I would make the darker colours dark gray/blue. Purple makes it look like a sunset.

Hmm.. thats nice, originally it was almost totally blue. I kinda like the blue-purple-yellow.

I liked the first one better, but a moon is a good idea. It's just...the way you implemented it, it looks like the moon was cut/pasted on rather than integrated into the image. It's like it's sitting on top of the light, unaffected by the neat gradient you've got going...you see? Like it's not in the same atmosphere. I really like the dithering and mountains, though.
If you put the moon there, I think that it'll be a bit right-heavy, since the right side of the image will have all this stuff (highest peak, moon, three clouds) y' know?

Yea i totally know what you mean, ill try some different techniques with the moon :). If it doesn't work out, ill try something else. Haha or nothing at all, the picture is still pretty decent without more detail, right? :)

It looks just fine without much detail. Less detail really enforces the feeling that the sky and mountains are far away.
