You clearly have a good artistic sense, textures, shapes, lighting and composition are all interesting, but can be much refined.
However :
• There is no way to imagine the scale of the piece. We need something recognizable. Humans, cars, horses, whatever you want, but help us figure out these trees are huge.
• If the moon makes so much light, it should be on the environnement too, not just water.
• I'm not sure about the white front light. It removes a lot of atmosphere in my opinion.
• Put a foreground. It's extremely important. It can helps to convey a story, which makes any piece of art much more interesting.
I don't know, put slaves, or add entire families leaving the place, something that can help us imagine what's going on, and makes us
think world is much bigger than this picture.
• Take a look at Feng Zhu's videos about landscapes :
