This may be a fantasy, but I have seen real places that look much like this. I'm still dreaming of my recent trip to southern India, where I saw a dell in a wildlife refuge on the slopes of the region's highest mountains filled with tree ferns. Sigh! Thanks for reactivating this memory.

I am not an expert in digital artwork.. But looking at the composition, colours, shapes, and various elements skillfully placed for a balance,I can safely say that this is a fine landscape work. This is life like. Well done!

Comment from gidavidson


A tropical feel to this scene. Like the focus, filtered sun and all the large ferns. There has to be a dinosaur just around the corner.

Nice work!
This is really a pretty scene! I like the look of it! The very idea of the warm green with flowers and the bird makes me think of spring. I sure am tired of winter!

    Thank you so very very much, Willie. I don't know if I ask this before, but are you on RB also? :)shawn

    I am but rarely go there! It is all I can do to keep up here.

    I'm still over there too. Haven't commented for a long time though. Placed in the top ten of a couple challenges, but in all this time I doubt that I even sold 150.00 worth. People there buy mostly cards and you have to sell 20.00 worth before RB even gives you your money. After the printing, etc. you might make about 93 cents per card. lol.

    I have not gone there for over a year and really did not look around much. I remember seeing moonwillow I guess from here?
Comment from l powers


Very well done.
Looks like it took some time to produce this. Alot of color definition in the leaves of the ferns.
Like the bird perched. The touch of orange here and there, adds contrast.
Good depth and framing and pov.

Very beautiful work as always.
You do a great job with the perspective. The little bird on the ferns makes them look enormous.

Nicely done with PS. the shades of green are very good. I like the little red flower on the left side. Plus the flowers in the background.
