Heh I'm not that good at writing critiques, and I've only written another one before, but hey, why not?
I'm giving you fives stars on almost everything, because honestly I can't find any flaws here. (Except a little detail but I'm probably wrong on it, and forgive me if I am.)
First of all, the colors you used are astounding. The way they're sort of combined and mixed together in the sky is beautiful. the sky and the trees give of sort of a "painted" look to them, and that adds to the beauty.
I love how everything is lineless, and how not ALL the trees are alive. It makes everything look more realistic, and its something you would see when looking at a forest. Not all trees are living.
The moon gives off the lighting which makes the shading look really well placed. However, some of the trees on the left in the back look highlighted a bit wrong, the moon is placed behind them but the highlighting looks like it's coming from the left of them. (Don't take this too seriously though. I'm probably completely wrong. I just wanted to help out a bit. You're a more experienced artist than me, so you'll probably know if I'm wrong. I probably am oops)
I think that the way the sky is lighter where it's closer to the moon is fantastic. I makes the picture look even more beautiful and realistic.
The way you added the road completes the picture, and the way you curved the road makes it even better. The road looks small in the back, which gives it a better idea of how far away it is from where you'd be standing if you were in this scenery.

Thank you for your time! <3
All in all this painting is perfect and I love it to bits aaahhh
