Ahem.....talking professionaly.....
It is visually striking and I like it, but I have to agree with Wise that its technique sucks. To be more specific than him and to avoid wandering into smaller details, take a look at everything's lighting, and you'll realize nothing makes any sense.
Tree: one lighting angle. Strong.
Clouds: another angle. Strong but not so much.
Moon/planet: another. Lighter.
Background: another. Dark.
"Eyeball": another. Faint lighting.
I think...if you take away the eyeball, it will look a lot better. The eye is the most out of place element in the pic. It doesn't match any other element. The tree and clouds sort of match, the background kind of too, the moon not much but it could pass, but the eyeball......
Well, it's just your first try, so don't be disappointed. A good artist needs lots of practice. Keep trying, and you'll get better.
