I saw your question about the depth of this up at Targeted Commenting [#3] .

You did great putting the wheat in the foreground and bluring it a bit.
That does make it feel a more lively.

I would recommend adding a middleground or atmospheric fog if you would like more depth in this though.

I found these tutorials very helpfull:

Have fun exploring all the possiblities!

Hi! I'm commenting on behalf of ProjectComment

I personally am not very good with buildings and perspective, I still need to practice that. But what I can tell you is that this piece looks truly amazing, I love the way you made the wheat, the lighting is brilliant and the building itself is... surprisingly realistic.
It is rather difficult to give advice for an artist more skilled than me, but here it goes:
-I looked up some pagoda images and what I noticed is that most of them are a bit wider in certain parts such as this one upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia… - They have a little bit more dynamic to them.
-In my opinion, the lighting on the clouds feels a tiny bit strong (not exaggerated, mind you) and they take away some focus from the pagoda itself. You want the building to be the "center of attention". Come to think of it, seeing how the sky is a bit cloudy the light on the left might be a bit strong too. The Sun rays are basically columns of sunlit air separated by darker cloud-shadowed regions. So the sun itself should be mostly hidden. 

The best tip I could probably give you is to look up images and tons of references and study them in detail, in case you are not already doing that.
I hope my comment helped at least a little bit, you are a truly talented artist and keep up the amazing work

This is really amazing ! i love the lighting how it has kind of a fantasy feel to it and yet i can feel summer looking at this  
The colors are beautiful and the detail is amazing on the building only one thing is driving me crazy the house is kind of off you know to one side maybe that was the idea if soo it still looks good but for me it's kind of off

Dropping in from
This is really gorgeous! At first I thought it was a photograph, actually. The lighting and colors are amazing. I love the way the sun hits the pagoda and the tips of the wheat, The shadows under the wheat and under the clouds look great. The symmetry of the piece, countered by the sunburst on the side and the slight asymmetry of the patches of wheat, is perfectly placed (I forgot what this is called, sorry XD)
But anyway, this piece is just phenomenal. No constructive criticism 'cause I have none.

It's very beautiful; I love how you did the shading and coloring, and how you positioned the light source.

This is well done. I like the sun effect you got going there. Great job on this.

Found you through

Overall I love the colour and light to this picture. I'm a sucker for saturation, I think it works with the day lighting to make it a very bright, happy scene but I would consider the colour of your shadows on the tower. Shadows tend not to really be pure black and actually make things look muddy when pure black is used. (Your shadows on the grass are red and look much more realistic)
This tutorial can probably explain it better than I can: fav.me/d5oi5lp
But generally the shadows should have the opposite tint to the light source (warm light = cool shadows) and if it's outside shadows tends to have a blue tint bounced from the sky. 
The warm shadows in the grass are an exception because they would be getting most of their colour from subsurface scattering and bounce light between themselves because they are thin and close together. (If you place a light near your hand you will notice the same affect) This gives them a realistic but warm feel. 
Still I do really like this picture, especially the details like all the grass and detailing on the tower.

For me, the perspective seems off in that the building appears to be leaning a little bit backward and a little bit toward the right side (my right side). As if it's bent a bit toward the right and back.

I love the clouds and rays of sunshine, and the hint of lens flare - really well done! The wheat is quite nice as well. It gives the impression of a very light, fresh breeze.

 Vuuuuus  finally you uploaded something <33 ;__;
What a wonderful pagoda I love the color of the sky, actualy I love the colors that you used generaly in this pic. I wonder what the scenario behind this pic is  =w=  I like  the work you've done here the only thing that I have to suggest you is to work a little more the perspective and the lighting. For exemple the top of the pagoda, if you used some of the sky colors to "push"it more away it could give the feeling that we are a watching a very big building. That's pretty much it, keep up your work, can't wait to see more!
