Hi, I think it is an oddly attractive image but I can't put my finger on 
quite why.  The "atmosphere" is very pleasing, stemming I think from the 
dark silvery tones of the composition overall.  The style and execution 
has a naive, primitive quality rather than high photo-realism, which 
adds a lot of charm. Yet in subliminal ways, the picture feels very 
real. Mentally the viewer can enter it. I think this is much because of 
your pictorial economy of means. For instance, you use the sky and fog 
in a simple way to convey a lot of realism. The palms are a bit stylized 
but you use their bending silhouettes to great effect.  Having said all 
that, I find the moon to be a huge anomaly.

So you see, it is a tricky picture to comment on. I am left unsure as to 
whether I have complimented you or offended you :( because it is not 
clear yet where you are trying to take the picture.  Not your fault, 
just "one of those things," and may in part explain the dirth of comments.
