looks nice, all I can comment on is the positioning of the text. I guess it's a balance thing. I think I'd like to see it down and a bit to the right so that it breaks up the flat horizon line. You might have contrast problems though if its on both sides of the horizon. The other place I would suggest would be the almost pure black area in the bottom right simply because it's so empty, but not too obviously in the very corner of the bottom right. Sorry if I'm to vague

seems dark and (this is just a personal taste thing) the landscape seems too flat...i dunno the words just didn't seem to mesh that well with the darkness of it...

i really like the texture of the part of the mountain i can see tho!

While the text makes me think of pleasant memories and old friends, the dreary image doesn't fit that mood at all. I don't know if that was your intention; but as it is, it seems kind of boring (sorry

)...
I would maybe try using some warmer colors, maybe a little more saturated than would be normal. It could work to use a contrast between those dampened colors and an area of lighter, warmer colors. Didn't think that through, though...
Plus: I may be mistaken, since I'm not a native speaker of the English language, but shouldn't that be "revisit" insted of "revist"?

Yeah, it should be "revisit." Someone at another board pointed that out to me. I'm going to fix that, but I'm not going to repost it here.

The dreariness of the image was my intention. It's supposed to contrast with the words. I've found that quite a few people feel saddened that they can't revisIt their youth. Others feel happy, but I decided to go with the sad ones.

And yes, it is a litte boring. You don't have to be sorry for saying that. As long as you don't completely flame me, I'm entirely fine with your opinions. Very rarely are landscapes the most exciting thing in the world. ::shrug::
