wow, i really love this piece of nature digital artwork
the dark olive green color contrast of the background is awesome, peaceful and very soothing to the eye, the mind and the souls
the basket of fruits and purple flowers add a fresh and alive spirit impression

The curvilinear surfaces are so out of context with the jungle and the basket of fruit, which are, themselves so unassociated! This is a really surreal work. I know which way is up, but I can't tell where to put my foot down. ;) It may not sound like I like this, but I do.

What a wonderful composition! Love the type of digital artwork you have achieved for this. The fruit in the basket stands out nicely with the dark background. Your technique has worked well and the detail is exceptional.

This is Beautiful!!

The Initial impact is definitely there, it is so well lit that it almost looks as though it has its own light source. The colors are so intense and complimentary, there is amazing depth with the shading on the underlying design as well the different colors of green...nice variety of plants. The fruit looks vey tempting and complimented by the scattering of the small blue blossoms. Your technical expertise is evident. Thank you for sharing.

Nice composition. I really like the shade of greens you used, and the blue flowers really give a good contrast to the greens and reds. There is good depth and design.

Beautiful painting, it has an inner glow to it. The colors are nice and vivid. The background treatment adds a great deal of depth not usually found in still lifes. Donkeyoatey
