I agree with everyone else about the flat ground (sorry).  I think it needs
a little bit more variety than just a planar effect.  The biggest thing I
would change about your image is that the floating castle really has no
texture.  It would even help if you varied the phong value for different
areas of it.  I'm not sure if I like the julia fractal clouds or not.  My
first thought was "force field" but maybe you could make it work like that
too.  I like the idea of seeing the shadow of the castle on the ground but
maybe that would mess up your lighting.  Great modelling.  Nice clean feel.
Keep up the good work.
