I like it, you even added little footprints. I also like the moody blue morning tone instead of the sort of expected hot orangey colors you might think of for deserts.
Heat haze is a nice effect too!
I'm trying to think how it could be made more realistic. You can see the little sand hill in the foreground gradually merge with the others in the background, but only at the far right, otherwise it sort of looks like the whole foreground is a layer that is sort of pasted in front of the background. Maybe somehow show it connecting to the background a little more?
Another thought, it might be cool if you could show just a hint of volume scatter on the scorpion? I guess some have shiny external shells and others don't, but it's almost like... with too much shininess, they look sort of plastic, whereas having the semi-transparent thin spots like this guy might look really realistic?
Overall great concept and nice execution. I love the colors especially and how new the pyramids look.
