I like the design of the spaceship parts and the cliffs and modeled land has a good style. The photograph or realistic render of the land and canyon on the right has too much contrast with the modeled land and objects on the left. The high detail of the real land is too different from the simplicity of the artistic land and buildings. Maybe model the land below too so it all has the same style?

Good point Finis.
The background is made with Bryce. I think the bump is too much for this picture. Maybe i need a texture similar.

The background is better with a little atmosphere.

Better but the difference in detail and style is still too much for me. It is the first thing I notice and that takes me out of the picture's story. Maybe the different styles could be used to show different geology in different areas or such but this isn't working for that.

You are king of your picture so make it the way you want it but my humble opinion is that all of the land needs to be modeled in the alien style for this image. A less realistic, more painted look. Maybe some smooth simple Bryce land in the distance with atmosphere to show scale, depth or distance.

Maybe the Bryce land would work if made much simpler and some layers like the alien land were added.

Good work on that realistic Bryce landscape. I would believe it was a photo if you hadn't said it is Bryce.

(Good you posted something. I was going to make a missing artist image of you riding a bull in a rodeo. Hmm, Prodigy will get that honor now.)
