It looks great. The only thing that irks me is the sun appears to be on the left but the moon is showing a near lunar eclipse meaning the sun is behind the “photographer” and since the lunar eclipse is also highlighting the right hand side of the moon it would mean that the sun is on the other side of the world, thus this should be at night and overall not possible. But not an astronomer.

I think leaving the moon out or make the bright side the left side of the moon so it matches the location of the sun would make it more realistic.

That’s assuming op wants their piece to be realistic.

Why not have 2 suns? Maybe there’s an alien spacecraft out of view shining a giant pink spot light on earth? What if it’s a solar eclipse and not a lunar eclipse? Maybe it’s from the point of view of someone on psychedelics? Maybe nothing is eclipsed and it’s just an exaggerated crescent moon shape? Or an artistic interpretation of how we embellish memories? Who cares, it’s not scientific illustration.

By all means having accurate astronomical depictions can be of the upmost importance for many artists and art styles but it’s not a requirement.

No filters has been used to make this I use different adjustments layers to edit this and a lot of color correction
