This is such a lovely scene. I'm glad you took liberties and embellished.
The greens and blues are lovely and create a vibrant look.
I like that you have included a person and dog. It contributes to the sense of time and place.
Very nice composition, with good use of space and balance.
I like the perspective, and that we see the arch/bridge at the end of the diagonal lines.
I like the thicker areas of paint, the textures it provides, and also the textures in general.
Lovely work.

How inviting, serene and calm this is! I love the reflections on the water and the verdant greens. Very lovely textures in the grasses. Donkeyoatey

Comment from Highfive


very nice impressionist feel of a person walking their dog. i like the simplicity of this work of art and how it represent texture and brush stroke throughout the landscape. the colors are very nice, and work nicely together from the cool side of the palette. i like the reflection in the water, and how it reflects the image of the colorful tree. very nice work. thanks for sharing.

This is just so typically English in setting and immediately makes me feel good with thoughts of Spring and walks beside the river with my dog! Wonderful composition and great textures. Good luck in the contest!

Nice detail on the water. Love the reflection the picture carries a stillness and tranquility that is conveyed though the brush strokes used by the artist

You've inspired me to pick up my paint brushes and start painting again. My love is photography but I think I will give some focus to painting. You have done a wonderful job depicting a beautiful scenic landscape of greenery. Great DOF, color, contrast, realism, highlights/shading, etc. What a wonderful job! Thank you for sharing (and being inspirational) :-)

A gorgeous scene. Thanks for sharing this fantastic scene, with the man enjoying a walk with his dog, the oval bridge and reflection, the beautiful water, grass, trees, and sky. It is all magnificent.
