Hello there?
This piece needs some good critiques regarding value and color.
Also I need you people to tell me if the left patch of forest looks flat or not.
Don't worry about being harsh or rude. Any critiques are always welcome.  |

i like the composition.. it really threw my eyes for a loop at first. but yea... i agree, some values/saturation/definition could be pushed more... especially when comparing the hills in relation to eachother... the hill on the left pops out more than the one to the right of the waterfall because of definition, and the hill between the left and waterfall seems like it could go a lot more into the background, considering all the haze you see created by the water and the area directly above it. also the object on the top right (branch?) could use some more definition.. plus maybe a more distinct boundary between sky and canopy? i can't tell very well where the trees end and the sky should start.. althought is is a WIP, so these are all things you maybe just haven't gotten to yet. and, as always, just my opinions..

You're right about the definition it's just not finished, I don't want to noodle in the details until I get the colors correct.
Yeah the loop thing I got going in there is funkey, it was one of those accidents that you make when you are painting.
I heard that I must limit the saturation range for each painting. If I need to push the saturation of some parts where can I do that without breaking the sense of harmony? |

| as far as color goes, colors in the fore ground would be more chromatic and would dull out as they go back in space. they are all basically the same tone right now. Also a few accents of bright red might look nice (birds, flowers?) to complement all the cool greens. Looks really nice so far, keep goin. |

| Yes I looked at several photos for the foliage. But since they are all from magazines I can't provide a link |

 I like it A LOT. other than the values and such... how big is that river? cuz that's a big honkin' waterfall. Other than that: beautiful. Can't wait to see it finished
