Beautiful Rynn! Keep it coming! - You can enlarge the closest trees, effectively putting the branch ends out of sight (off the canvas). It would also add to the sense of perspective (items seem larger the closer you are to them). - You could add leaves to the Winter Pears, which would hide the blunt branch ends. - You could use a bit of touch-up in a paint program to stretch the blunt ends out in a more natural taper. (Doesn't affect the spirit of the Vue-only exercise, since it's not painting the path.) - I'd like to see a bit more texture on the road itself, maybe even a couple rutted lanes where wheels have tranversed frequently, or perhaps some variation in the dirt color. - The edges of the road seem too straight. Maybe add some more infringing grass along the edges, or --? These are just some thoughts, but it really is a lovely image. Nice work! :) Varian -- Treasures d'Esprit
