BIO
I have been  interested in art and photography for most of my life. I come from a large, diversely creative  family and this type of self expression was encouraged. I always persued these interests as a hobby, followed up with liberal doses of traditional art training (as life and budget allowed).
In the early 80's I began what was to become a career in the graphic/print industry and discovered another passion, technology. It was inevitable that my two passions should begin to overlap. Over time the edges became blurry and finally they disappeared altogether. I became a digital artist!   In 1998 I decided it was time to get on with my life... my real life... to follow my dreams... I retired from the ratrace to paint and I never looked back.
Love always to Paul, Andrew and Mac (you know who you are)

The foreground is amazingly realistic! I like the idea of the distant trees but I'm not sure if they would appear light or as a darker silhouette, close to the mid-range tree color...

Nice scene ! Great still-life !

Super nice. I love it.

Very nice! I'm sure the trees in the far background would be a darker, shadowy shade of color, rather than whitish - unless they were covered in snow. Otherwise an extremely well done landscape piece.

Nice coloring, impressive work!!
timefighter
Yep...great image, but I do agree about the distant trees...they deffinately would be dark. Otherwise...well done!

Lovelly scenery my friend!! Great colors. I could see the trees beeing liter some sort of morning fog or mist the light hits it right bright trees. Maybe where it meets the darker clouds could be darker Awesome job!

Very nice, the foreground is excellent. If you play with your haze and fog editor you can get the terrain in the distance to look more realistic I think. Forgive me for not ranking your image as I am not sure ranking anything is for me to decide. Commentary is what is helpful in my artwork and I hope you will find my suggestion helpful in yours. Thanks, shoop

Lovely mood piece; the restricted colour palette works very well. My only problem is... yes you guesssed it, the far distant trees. I don't think it's a matter of lighter or darker, they simply don't fit in with the rest of the image, which is excellent and realistic. The pointy terrain-derived outline just does not convince as a tree-line, and the scene would be better without them. Chop them down and I'd happily raise my Great to an Excellent.

This is a beautiful classic image, and i agree with everybody here about the distant trees. In fact, i think that taking them out will just improve the image :)

I find the bushs, with the duck toothbrushes, in the forground block my eye movement. I want to be able to get into the water with out blockage. I hardly notice the far back trees so another reason to get rid of them.

It approaches the fine work of oil.
