You are very talented with your art. So realistic. I feel I'm standing there. You add just the right amount of color in the right places. Enjoyed this very much

Nice creative work here with good initial impact and n ice detail. The color tones look great and the piece holds the attention of the viewer.

Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Dakans


Good one, good contrast and subject, nice light composition, great detail, I really like how your signature is not bold red letters, sorry I don't have more stars. Good luck on the contest. Thank you for sharing.

    This is for a committee judged contest, which is not a "blind" contest, Dakans. So the sig doesn't matter this time. I thank you so much for the wonderful review. Just out of curiousity, is the lower rating because of the sig, or did you find something else wrong? :) shawn

    My bad, I didn't notice that it wasn't a blind contest. nothing else.

Comment from David Ruhl


This is a very realistic scene Shawn.

The color of the grass, the placement of the flowers, the mist on the water, and the trees are all so realistic it looks very close to a photo.

Very nice work!

Comment from derrylynne


Almost surreal this one. I like the art and it works well. As a mostly scenic photographer I can now easily spot digital art and this was of course most easy to spot. I like the clarity of the foreground against the blur of the background. The firs in the background look real and could be part of a photograph I have taken in the forest. Nicely done:-)

    Thank you so very much for the wonderful review, Derrylynne. You didn't mention any adjustments to be made, so I'm wondering why the 4 star rating? A rating of 4 usually means "needs adjustments." Again, thank you for the great comments. :) shawn
Comment from Bluelily


This might be digitally enhanced but it takes me to a very real place in my mind. Very serene with the fog and the water and I love the soft colors and the contrast with the dark trees Then my eye goes to the little colorful flowers. Just like going for a walk in the forest. Very well done Very much enjoyed!

Comment from Wolfdancer13


This digitally rendered scene is just lovely portrayed. It draws the viewer in and establishes a sense of peacefulness. I love the touch of tone, the soft blends of the water's rippling in the depths of the piece as well as the softened tree line in the distance. Lovely details and appealing atmospheric presence and serenity.
