Generally, it's a beautiful landscape that may cause to the observers lots of feelings and even change the mood of somebody. I believe this, because of the use of calm and erthy colors (green, blue and yellow) with which you have created a semi-realistic forest (if I can call it that way), but mostly because of the way you used these colors...all these little green touches make the trees look real and they accord to the light, the rain looks so majestic and soft with this yellow color that seems like it caresses the trees as it falls down to their roots. I love all your details and the black foreground too. But let's talk about the negative point now. As I said before, I adore the part of the rain on the left where it shines brightly as it flows.It gives a lot to the painting. But I think you sould have passed this "magic" to all the painting rather than keep it there. What I want to say is that you could use yellow a bit more on the trees to make them more shiny and give them a brighter shape, at least there where there's light in them. I also think the water could use some more work...some more shades maybe, to look more realistic. At last, as you said, the perspective is not that correct, as the person who looks at the painting does not know where he stands. It's a little abnormal for the waterfall to have this little distance from the opposite land(where we stand) but ,again, everything is possible. Really nice job and far better than I thought if I bear in mind the little time it took you. Keep up creating! I also wander the image/thing/or whatever inspired you to make this wonderful landscape and what feelings it causes you.

This is an absolutely gorgeous piece of work. Your choices of color all seem very organic and make the landscape seem real and alive which is impressive in a style that is not very realistic in itself. Your style does add a great deal to the light rays piercing down through the trees. It really looks like how the sun shines down into a forest. You noted yourself that the perspective is a bit off and while I agree I feel that adds another touch of "realism" to the piece. As if you're standing in the bushes looking over the scene. Really my only strong critique is the foreground imagery. I like the silhouetted plants and I think they add a lot to the perspective but I think they could've been pushed deeper into the scene to make it seem like there is more depth to the image. Then it would really feel like you were standing on a far cliff looking onto this scene. Overall a great piece and I look forward to seeing more from you. This is definitely the kind of painting I would love to own personally.

Wow ! thanks you so much for your critic. I am glad you liked it. I do agree with you, my foreground could use some work. Maybe add some water fog from the waterfall between the foreground and the midground could help separate the layer and add more depth to the painting! Anyway, i am going to keep your advice in mind for my other painting! thanks again
