Hi Shawn!
It's a good looking image,my friend,but those birds just bother me too much to think of it as looking 'perfect'.
Now,I don't know very much about creating ( or appraising ) Digital Art and I realize that the birds have been 'inserted' into the picture somehow but,to me,they just seem to have too much of 'different' look to really jibe with the rest of the image! Maybe it's the color,I dunno'! It's certainly not a 'big deal' or anything,it's just bothers me!

    Thank you, Sean T. Not to worry, it wasn't doing well anyway. I disabled it and will work on it more later. :))

Beautiful idea and painting - love the blue birds in center(love birds) - great color contrast! A stand out!
The apples - large and tempting, ready for a "grab" - but, let's just view:) - The shaded colors very nice - spaced with interest in hanging temptations!
The tree leaves and branches - great shading, lending to sun rays on leaves - beautiful strokes in painting the leaves - great placement!
The trunk and branches - centered with upwards movement - dark brown color, stand-out! Excellent contrast!
The background - shades of pink and orange - is this early morning?
Enjoy this walk, enjoy the taste, enjoy this view!
Best wishes ...

Very nice piece of digital art. I like the tree with all its branches and apples (but for some reason I can't put my finger on the apples seem a bit off, maybe the color?). The bird is great.

    Thank you, Jkep. The apples are a cross between golden delicious and a red apple... makes them kinda peachy color. LOL. :))mw

Okay, you got me. I am doing this on my cell phone for simplicity and had to blow up the picture to see what I was looking at. That is just too funny. Excellent picture of the tree and the addition of the two cartoon birds was a stroke of ingenuity. Well done thank you very much for sharing.

    Wow, thank you so much, Paul. Did you text this review, or voice activated? I'm doing good just to get a couple words texting, but a whole review, no way. LOL. Again, thank you for taking the time to comment. Very very much appreciated. :))mw

What a lovely work this is! I love the colors being very soft. It fits this well. they are very natural looking a pleasing to the eye. The detail is wonderful, all the way down to the leaves on the tree. As for the framing, I love that the birds are midway up, causing us to look all around them to take in the rest of the beauty. Thanks so much for sharing, have a wonderful night!
