Attached Link: Hot Summer Night

I  find others can see in your own artwork things that you cannot. I would value your opinion on Hot Summer Night.

Thank You

I like the layout and the idea.  It seems to me that the relationship between the house and the people are off tho..like if they stood up they would be taller than the height of the porch roof...and maybe you could put some water disturbance around the little boat..it sorta looks like its floating in air.
I'm no expert ..  :)

agree with annie the people are a little too large need to scale them down just a little. Also maybe if you put the boat down into the water a little it would look better or bring it closer to the dock. A lttle disturbance would help too maybe.

Apart from that which has already been mentioned, one thing that strikes me a lot when I see a scene, and this is something I always notice, is that some elements (objects) in a scene can look stiff. 

It's not easy getting that certain 'heaviness' that is apparent in the real world. I notice this more on poser models that end up looking like shop window dummies instead of people, but this works in the same principle in landscapes.

Things to look for to get a more realistic 'heaviness'....

Is the object, a rock, a boat, a tree etc. actually resting on the ground, terrain or water... or infact any other object? Do added objects sink into the ground if the ground texture is to give to representaion that it's soft like sand, mud or snow for instance? Take a look at a similar object in reality, look how heavy it appears. Sometimes just 'landing' objects is not enough, you may need to lower them a little more.

*Is the object, stood bolt upright? In real life it can do but if it's slightly leaning in one direction, it looks more natural.

Another thing that can drastically alter the appearance of objects is light and shadows. A well placed shadow can give the impression that it actually is as heavy as it would be in reality.* 

Obviously if one isn't trying to make a scene look realistic then please disregard the above.

I agree with all of the above, but also it's all a bit too dark. You could try adding some light around the cabin, wether that's light coming from inside the cabin or a couple of storm lights hanging somewhere outside....Hope this helps.

Thank You All,

Your opinions are very much appreciated.

Dhama your advice is something I shall consider in my work. It is only logical that one should consider these things when after realism in their work.
