Thanks for the nice comments, Barbara and Laurie. Richard, thanks for the critique. I agree with your comments. I will try to rework some of the areas incorporating your suggestions.

Amazing, love the foreground trees. Beautiful feel to it, good depth.

Absolutely LOVE your foreground trees too! I also like the way you brought the land in the foreground right to the edge of the canvas. That diagonal line coming from the left bottom leads the eye into the trees and also helps with the sense of ariel perspective. Great job!

Wow - nice one Michael. That's a lot of detail for a little canvas! Love the colour in your foreground trees! Perhaps going a touch bluer in the background mountains would have made the warm trees sing even louder. Always a hard decision between grays and blues in the background I think. Good depth recession you've got. The straight edges on your river make it look a little man-made, as does the sold edge of the snow line on the mountains. Overall very nice though - quite a little jewel.
