Yes, I think you are taking it in the right direction.  I think adding 
more elements improves this picture.  Moving the balloon closer adds a 
lot.  Allows us to mentally "enter" the scene.  The waterfall is a great 
element but needs work yet I feel.  I question its placement.  Too close 
to the center of the composition and it cuts the cliff edge right next 
to where the moon cuts the cliff edge.  And I question its realness.  It 
really needs to suggest falling water in order to emphasize the sense of 
height of the cliff. I think there needs to be a sense of the water 
breaking up and vapourizing as it falls.  Where ever you put it, it is 
going to be an attention getting element in the scene and as such will 
need to be spot on.  I think the hazy clouds might be too much.  Maybe 
make them more of a hint?
