Yet again, another stunning work. A 3D feel to the tree and the purple flowers leading you gently to the girl and the bird. Love the colours - very striking. Good definition to the central character. Also like the impression of trust between the girl and the bid. Really well composed and framed. Very well done. Congrats. flanders

I wish my yard looked like this too. I love the marvelous colors and delicate leaves and blossoms. The humming bird is a perfect subject and stands out marvelously. As always, this is an excellent work of art and I continue to admire your awesome talent.

aww, I like this one, so pretty!
The tree is very realistic and I love the little bird, the girl catches your eye straight away but there is plenty more to take in.

thanks for sharing

    What a beautiful review, Jerrica, and I thank you so much, but why the half point off the rating? You didn't mention anything negitive. :) Shawn

    I can't quite decide what it is, and I definitely am not qualified to criticise anyone's art, as I can't even draw a straight line. There is just something that doesn't feel right. In the thumbnail it's perfect, but full size I think it may be the bright purple flowers, I know they should go really well with the green and yellow, but maybe they are just a bit too bright?

    I love the revision, have adjusted my rating to show it :)

What a great image - oh to be talented. I love the way there is intricate detail in the flowers and leaves , and how you have managed to contrast it in the reflections in the water. The girl is done beautifully and really fits the picture. If I had to pass a negative comment on this it's that I don't get a feeling of depth with the girl and the fence - they seem to be on the same plane and merge but a striking piece of art.
