I love your draw, is very realistic the scene, five stars.
I think you've drawn a mixture of trees specifically a tropical forest, the color of grass is very good, the waterfall is cool.
Your watercolor is very creative, although there were a few small mistakes in the green parts. The dark parts of the branches next to the waterfall are not so remarkable but it looks good, the color of the waterfall is fine.
This is the best watercolor drawing i've ever seen in my life.
I am amateur artist but i am learning to criticize the drawings.

Good draw and nice work

I would just love to say that your artwork is amazing! It's a really beautiful masterpiece so here is my opinion about it:

I rank this five stars of vision because the meaning is clear. The waterfall is luminous and feels fresh and your leaves are realistic. I love how you made the waters, they are serene and peaceful. There are different shades of green and you blended it well in a tropical surrounding.

I rank this five stars of originality because I never see a Deviant create such lovely landscape. The lighting is well done and I can see this is well improved. I find this unique because you draw the water without making it too blue, but in a perfect hue. You really know how to make the grass and the water go well. I feel like I am in vacation looking at this(even if I am at school now). I feel peace and tranquility.

Also, I loved it so much that I gave it five stars for technique because of the way you shade everything. I feel lost in the nature of an old Mayan Empire or the Pacific Islands. The fogs under the waterfall make it look realistic and as I say it again, the water looks realistic because it mirrors some of it's surroundings. The grass looks like grass and the trees looks like trees.

It impacted me a lot because looking at this helped me chill from all the stress. Now I feel more positive, keep up the good work! I hope I see more of this lovely artworks, continue drawing!

Hi, I am from Project comment. First of all I would like to say that your picture is full of pure greens.I like it. It is very similar as in photo.Also I can feel peace in this work. It is good that  you create recreational atmosphere:It is good place if you want to go away from city disharmony and take some rest.

I like how you made these waterfall's spatter. You make it very similar as original . It gives mystic atmosphere to your work.Also I love these highlights and shadows.They make your painting realistic.Variety of brush strokes make the  same effect. Grass is almost real. How nice would be to sit on it and shake legs in the river. 

It is possible to feel depth in this work. This effect makes your drawing attractive. These kind of works are more popular. Many more pople like to see them closer. On the other side you could create deeper painting. I think you shoul make these bush leaves more smaller . That's because things which are far away are smaller.

Talking about originality..yes it is wuite original because most artist draw humans. Nature is more interesting. You can always find some undiscovered and charming places. While all people have same faces.

Maybe you can add some details. For example, animals.I understand that you painted this pursuant the photo. However, you can draw your own details because you're an artist. That means you must be very creative.Because more ideas you have in your head more good works you will create

It is nice work . good luck

Good stuff!  Some techniques for your consideration:

Grass - Use speed blur to make vertical grass, then smudge or other distort to make waves, footprints, etc,

Leaves/Flowering Branches - Use Confetti tool to make random multi-colored clusters.  For example, Pink/White = Cherry blossoms.  Draw branch and shade, then two shades of green for leaves placed along branch.  You can also use stipple or cork patterns and smudge.  Alternate colors as needed.

Flowing Water - Draw streams, blur, then smudge with stipple brush.  The stipple dots will randomize the streams by dragging along the primary direction.

Bark - Splatter/hurl filters with different shades of brown to suit, then use patterned brush with small strokes to smudge texture. Or paint directly on chosen primary color with various shades and pattern brush.  Play with interval setting (solid lines become dots) to further texturize.

I like what you've done.  My only grumble would be the palm leaves look out of focus compared to the rest.   Have fun!

This is good practice overall.  Your application of different brushes is good, the waterfall and reflective river also look good.  You have a good level of concept art execution here.  If the goal of this pick was not to recreate the reference exactly, I would say that you should incorporate more colors, and contrast to this piece (give more separation and vibrancy in general).

If your goal was suppose to be a direct recreation of the reference, I would suggest try to work in the multi background layers in the original.  There is a nice depth of space in the original leading to the waterfall which comes out a little flat this recreation.  For an example, look at the tree in the mid-ground of the original.  It stands out significantly from the subsequent layers of the back-ground behind it, creating a nice contrast element between those slightly hazier background layers.  My suggestion would be some work on the contrast between layers in your recreation, to create that depth.

I would not normally give constructive criticism, but since it was requested I thought I would share...
