If that's a ring that I see there, this party did not have a good ending. Seriously the colours are very vibrant and nice. The different objects in this picture is fascinating.

This picture really tells a well-defined story through its content and composition.

In addition, it's very striking. The colors are extremely interesting because your bright color, yellow, is muted, while your dark color, blue, glows. The gold of the wedding band speaks of a dying relationship, akin to the dying balloon that matches its color and shape, and the flowers in the vase that will die and also match the color and shape. It's interesting that those yellow flowers with the greens look like they're sharp or prickly. The taller blade-looking leaves look to be sharp as well, and I believe they might be mother-in-laws tongue?

The way the blue and black of the windows are so radiant with the light from behind them is really interesting in that the colors and form of the window is reflected all the way into the foreground. The use of the glass goblet-shaped vase really brings out more of that, because of the light being able to shine through with distortion. Also, it's nice to see the intricate detailing of a pattern on the glass vase.

You did an excellent job on this digital painting. I really do like it very much.

This is a really striking image. Your use of color is wonderful. I like your composition and the contrast is well done.Often times images do not have as much impact, but this one is a winner. Thank you for sharing.

Party is over, time to burst the balloon. Great contrast between the background and the beautiful bouquet and balloon. Visually striking, well done.

Nice creative work here with good initial impact and nice detail. The color tones look nice and I like the contrast between the subject and the blue background.

Thanks for sharing.

Excellent piece of artwork! The colors and designs are fantastic, but I felt bad looking at it. The left behind wedding ring truly made me feel like that couple's party is over. Not sure if that's what you are trying to convey, but that is the feeling I got. Excellent.

i really like the depth (as always), and the late night feel of the blue lighting. parties at your house must be very neat..the flowers aren't even drooping, and neither is the balloon! Donkeyoatey

Interesting subject matter. It definitely leaves you wondering what occured to create this scene. I like the colour choice and the ring's reflection is quite lovely. Good work.
