Sta.sh
The shading is incredibly realistic, Pinkie Pie's party cannon is catchy, Twilight Sparkle (with Spike sleeping on her back) is kinda sweet and the houses are just cosy as well. These two (or three) are walking straight into bed after chilling out in the party.
The night sky with stars reminds me of the one I saw while stargazing. It is just beautiful as it should be
Shading and Shadows:
Using black to shade with makes things look a bit muddy. Try dark shades of contrasting color. For instance, a dark purple to shade the yellow of the thatched roofs. MLP will almost never use pure black even in night scenes.
The more distant houses should be darker than the ones in the foreground. Doing this will give the piece more of a feeling of depth. (Lightening the colors as objects get further away does the same thing in daylight.)
Lighting:
The lamp being a pure white makes it seem a bit stark. A warmer, more inviting light would be more in keeping with the spirit of MLP. (See the garden lamps in the episode Sweet and Elite for an example.) Also, a warmer color would make a better contrast with the moonlight.
While the moon is a general (softer) light source, the lamp is a point source and should cast shadows with much harder edges.
Lighting is a very powerful tool but can be extremely complex in a sweeping piece like this one. (I haven't even mentioned bounce lighting.)
Conclusion:
With all that said, it's a very nice piece which hints at a story behind it and certainly evokes a mood in the viewer. You've got a good start on mood lighting. The way you've composed the lights is very nice. Keep up the good work!
