Comment from Mubashir Iqbal


I really like this digital artwork.
This has been composed very well and the image is nicely balanced too.
The colours are vibrant and well used.
The detailing throughout is excellent from the grass to the flowers and bushes.
Nice depth too and I like the winding river in the background as it enhances the field of view nicely.
The girl is well-placed and the tree opposite is well crafted and balances the image well.
Overall a great image and thanks for the share.

This is lovely, just like you say, its how I would like my yard to look too. Even though its not real the little bird gave you a great idea, love the bright colours and sunlight, flowers and green of the grass, its got a happy summery kind of look, I think its great.

Comment from Elexis


Very nice! I love the bright vibrant colors and they are mixed so well with the cooler softer ones that it adds allot to the mood and overall composition of the work. There is allot of really nice detail throughout, it is obvious allot of time was spent on this work.Contains very realistic landscaping, yet soft and definitely fantasy. Great job on illustrating depth of field as well, not always very easy in this form of media. Composition has really great depth and dimension because of it. The soft focus on the subject was an effective choice for the overall composition in that it adds to the mood and fantasy effect.

The lighting is also very good, very realistic.

What a lovely touching painting and reflection on your childhood.
This is just like a beautiful fairy land so colorful and full of light and wonderful emotion.
The grass looks so silky and healthy, and you took care for such detail to the composition with tree, the bushes, flowers and a little stream at the back, and the suggestion of living area where there is a fence showing.
Love the posture of the little girl in lovely bright yellow dress reaching out to the hummingbird.
Very charming presentation, thank you for sharing.
