Yes, there's no visible atmosphere... and the deep part of the sea should be
much darker, something like rgb <0, 0, 0.3>. Also, the clouds' (are they
media? Obviously they float somewhat above the planet's surface...) shapes are
not very believable - they should arrange in spiralling swirls, just like in
cyclones on Earth, and the inner regions of larger continents should be less
cloudy.

And where are the craters on your moon? Perhaps you'll try a crackle
isosurface, using form <1, 0, 0> instead of the default <-1, 1, 0>, averaging
in some bumps or wrinkles.

But - with a large moon *that* close to your planet, its continents should be
mostly washed away by monstrous tides!
