Comment from Sange


This is gorgeous with the yellow and golden colors. Love the snaggle tree limb floating in the water. Great textures and really lovely scene.
Fabulous work!
Well done!

Comment from PortraitsByMaya


Stunning golden glow and I love the layers of green you used to bring out the bright golds. The textures clearly define each element; mineral, water or atmosphere. The branches in the water add a symbolic element which makes the eye stay on the piece for longer than usual. I do wish the sky was blurred a bit more...the edges on the clouds are a bit sharp. Great job!

Comment from avmurray


I really like all the golden hues in this digital painting and with a touch of green as a lovely contrast. Only the root floating in the river breaks up the horizontal lines, and also of course adds a lot of interest. Another contrast I find very effective is that the foreground and rocks are textures against the silky and smooth looking water.

The sky is well painted and adds a bit of drama to this scene. What I like the best about this painting is the simplicity in the expression, and also the way you have brought the light in showing fine distinctions between light and shades.

The format suits the scene, and it is a good flow in your work. Really a well balanced composition, and a well crafted digital painting. I wish you luck with the contest.

Comment from Lorenz


This is a wonderful, beautifully designed digital image. The hardness of the rock mountains sandwiched between the feathery clouds and flowing water works so well together. Also your choice of colors evokes a magical sunset.

Comment from jrconrad


Interesting golden color. The mountains and clouds suggest a photograph. I really like the dead tree floating(?) down the river. Very nice.

Lovely use of just one color shaded to different levels creating a very striking image. Very harmonious. Strong composition. Nice textures.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


As I love yellows oranges and gold, you just hit the nail on the head with this item - the beautiful mountain chains are well placed , the waters are fantastic with all the different reflection's and shades as well as your sky - you are a master in creativity and color use as this is not easy to do just in one color range - your root in the water is this perfect dark color spot that makes this image outstanding and interesting

A very special contrast entry , well done, all the best of luck

Comment from bigbear2081


Difficult to critique as I do not understand digital art. Although the colors are of the same throughout the picture, it is easy to identify the change between clouds, land, and water. I like the trunk placed where it is, helps balance the scene. Very interesting. I may have to look into that digital art!
