I love the colours you've used. the reflection of the light against her suit is very well done. plus, I think adding hints of blue in the shirt, hair and purple on the lips is a nice way to contrast the colours without it looking out of place. great job on proportions, too!

for improvement: I feel like there could be some more distinction between the bike and the character, at the moment they blend together too much. the bike in general could do with cleaning up a bit - for example, the shape of the wheel and the reflection on the glass. also as a small point, some more golden light could reflect off the hair to tie it into the composition more. but overall this is a really great painting, hopefully these points have helped!

HI! I´m here from ProjectComment and would like to give you some feedback on your lovely piece

The first thing, that aught my eye was the sky. I think it´s stunning how well and detailed and realistic the clouds are. The natural focal point is, of course, the woman´s face, which contrasts the background very well. Thereby the focal point is emphasized, which is very cool. A thing, that kind of bothers me is the hair, though. You´ve done really well with the colouring of the suite and the folds are admirable, but the hair sticks out. It appears to be lit by a totally different light source! Obviously you know how colours work and that in orange light white is not really white etc. But you didn´t act it on the hair. 
Another thing I like is your texturing. The skin is nice an shiny and the suit is rather stiff, while the fence is definetly wodden. I think you did well in reducing the details in the background, which makes the foreground stick out, but maybe if you also lowered the saturation in the background that would help to create some depth.
I hope I was of any help at all

Wow, thank you so much for the time you took to leave the lovely comment!
I certainly see your points and I wholeheartedly agree! I lost my focus when working on the background and forgot to account for the orange in the hair and eventually lost the feeling of the value range for the background as well. I will try my best to improve and be extra careful on future pieces!
Thanks again for your time and criticism!

Her hair color and the sunset/sunrise amplifies the blue color (complementary colors). But the motocycle isn't very detailled (sorry for my english)
By the way, this is aawwesome

Hey there,
This submission has an interesting color scheme/palette. I like that, it's always nice to see a play in color and or shape.

But i think there are some things to be addressed, such as the hair and difference beetween the character and the background.

I think I'll start with the hair first, while it does have complementary contrast with the rest of the painting and it's really good that it represents a small amount of the colors used, what bothers me is that it is in fact too saturated with blue. The large ammount of orange/red tones and the light from the sunset, should make the hair reflect some of that light. I also appreciate the fact that that it does not look like spaghetti

Next we move to the contrast,
The value range on the fence and on the bike is too wide all you have to do to have an immidiate better painting is mask out the character and reduce the contrast of the background and make it a bit lighter. That way you will tell the eye to focus on the character more and you will create the illusion of depth.

Hope that helps and never give up

Cheers

Quite a smart way to use the colours in the figure in comparison to the background
