Thank you! It pleases me to know that you enjoyed it. I highly appreciate it.
And yes please, share your opinion on what suggestions you have. Criticism is always welcome in my book.

I always ask first nowadays, not everyone here appreciates getting critique if they haven't specifically asked for it.
It's nothing big at all, just some minor issues. The first thing that struck me when I saw the picture in its zoomed out format was that the cobblestones in the foreground seem to be drawn at a different perspective than the rest of the picture, not sure if that was intentional or not; the effect is that it looks as if they're standing on a steep downhill, but their feet aren't following the angle of the stones. The other thing I thought of is highly subjective, but I think the picture could benefit from being cropped about 20 pixels beneath that bucket, because right now there's a bit of very dead space at the bottom where absolutely nothing is going on. My eye is drawn to that little area because it stands out just because it's empty, and generally you don't want to draw the eye somewhere where there's nothing special to see, especially when there's so many other cool details you could be focusing that attention to instead.

Sorry for the wall of text hope it's of some use.

That´s alright. It´s a shame that there are people who responds to critiques by just shrugging it off only because they feel like that they don´t need any sort of help. I really appreciate the suggestions you brought up regarding the angles of the cobblestones in the foreground (also to answer your question, no. The different angle the stones in the foreground are drawn in wasn´t intentional) and the lack of colors at the bottom, which I figured I should give you the reason for why that´s the case, So please excuse the wall of text I´m about to give as well.

At first, I had the intention that all of the characters, except for the two golfers, was originally just going to be shadowy figures with clear-white eyes. The problem was that I thought that if I did that, people wouldn´t be able to tell what they look like, because they´re so far away in the background. The characters in the foreground were close enough so that you could see what they look like but not colored because I didn´t want them to stand out in the center of the picture.
The reason for why it´s so dark at the bottom is because of a thing I usually do that I always seem to use in almost all my work nowadays. It´s the center lighting, were everything in the center is filled with lights and colors except for the corners were it´s mostly shadowed. It´s a little trend of mine I never even noticed until my art-teacher brought it up half a year ago or so.

But anyway, thank you for the suggestions. They have been helpful, and I´ll your advice into consideration.
