| I would like my picture to be as good as possible, so I'm open to advice and any criticisms that you have. Thanks. |

Its a nice concept, you've got a really nice pattern for the sun, the colours are wonderful!.
If I was doing it at this point here, I'd add loads of intricate detail to the tree - it works really well as a silhoette, so make it more complex by adding more branches. I'd also make the horizon less regular, it adds a natural feel to it. Other than that - add more detail and texture by working into it with really soft brushes of varying colour.
The only thing that you might want to work on from a technical stance is the river(?) you've started to do a single point perspective, but the river isnt quite the right shape for it, it should probably be tiny at the horizon and broader at the base (possibly an upside down V shape even). If it is a river you might want to add tiny flecks of colours from the sun and sky, to give it a reflection and make it more watery.

| Wow, thanks, I didn't expect a lengthy comment as that. I certainly wasn't going for a naturalistic point of view, but of something more abstract. As I mentioned in my picture, I was listening to the new Red Sparowes album, which is definitely abstract in it's own way. |
