The horse and the man don't cast shadows which makes your pic look a little weird. It seems like the horse is just floating or resting on the ground because of it.

Also, on all the trees, the light is coming from the back (from the moon), on the horse and the man, all the light is coming from the front. It makes it look like you made two different pictures and mixed them together.

Nice overall though.

yeah, shadows are a more apparent problem. The sword seems to be casting light on the man, but not the horse. The moon isn't casting shadows on either of them

. The guy and the horse look a bit smooth to me also. Good pic though

Try incorporating more of the ambient colors(blue and white) into the horse and knight. darken him down a bit so he feels like he's a part of the scene....I'll try to paint an example later, but I can't promise!

I don't want to step on anyones toes here, but I did a little repaint of your pic to show you what the others have said about the lighting. Since your main light is coming from behind, the brightness you have on the man and the horse would not be so prominent. I also added a little fog to give the piece a little more atmosphere and it gives the moonlight something to refract off of to cast a little bit of light on the character. This piece is a really great concept that just a little bit more tweaking and refining. I hope this helps you out.

Eh, thank you very much, pals for great help and your comments.
I now answer for several questions.
In first, there is two light sources: moon behind rider and magic sword in his hand. And yes, the sword give more bright light, than moon and the sword light the rider and horse.
Shadows: cause the moon behind the rider, than shadow must be behind picture, yes?

The shadow from sword must be in the left, but cause night it's no visible amount others shadows.
Yes, yes, if the sword was obvious, than shadows will be like that you draw, thanks

Anyway, picture "still process". Idea with white mist is very good, I like this.
