[A-13]

For this image I took a couple source pictures, painted black over them and then erased out the details- I like the look of it, but the composition feels lacking. I can add sky and ground, but I'm not sure if anything else would fit.
Also I'm finding it hard to place the text in an area where it is not obstructed by the background.
C&C welcome and appreciated.

Hey, so far you image is looking pretty good though i have a few suggestions for you.
1) the background is just a little flat, hard to decifer at points, perhaps a few more tonal shifts (like 1 maybe 2 more grey tones) to add a little bit more depth to the image. Use the greys to bring wagons and other middle ground objects forward from the backdrop.
2) I agree that your word placement is a little off, and with more tonal shifts in the background it will become even harder to read. Try placing the text in a more horizontal fashion in the white space at the bottom right of your image, this will help balance your image a little more and make the text easier to read.

Just my suggestions, but beyond that its a good start.
