I don't really know what I would do beyond what you said. Looking at it, nothing really jumps out at me that I would change. Maybe add...a planet.  ;D Just kidding.

Like it  ;D

A little more colour variation on the rock; maybe?  You mention the mist, I have had that density increasing with distance look and wonder (Not tested), if things could be evened up by lowering the density based on a Distance Shader.

hehehe !
i am rendering it with a slight different pov (vertical too) and i lower the sun height, put another atmospehere (more extraterrestrial) and use extra lights.... it's not over and it looks like an artificial landscape (like in studio)

changed the pov and add some artificial lights... i like this artificial look...
now i have to transform the left light (it's too sharp and strong) and perhaps add some clouds (not sure yet)

too bad i lost the wet look :)

I think you should remove the background lights....or atleast disable the glow option....the foreground looks reallly good!

**EDIT**

also tone down the brightness of the foreground light a little...its too bright at some spots....

Wonderful foreground.  GREAT point of view.  I like the lighting, but agree with DH.  The wet look would really help this be a top render.  Nice.

That's because of the lighting direction and angle. The 'closer' to the sun (image-wise) the more shiny the look.
