56 Jun 18 Comment thanks for your comments.
Yes the tree became over exposed in the painting.
We spent a week hiking and photographing in the region.
it was strenuous but wonderful.
Did you hike in Coyote Gulch as well?

56 Jun 18 Comment I dont think you missed out on anything by not having all of the background
I think the impact of this angle is great.
The fighter spirit in the pirate is perfect.
The painterly effect with good detail left in the face works very well.
A great image.

56 Jun 18 Comment Oh much, much better Jun 6th
56 Jun 18 Comment the addition of the shaft of light really provides the finishing otuch & draws one directly to the baker.
I also like the way you excluded all detail form the background and gave it a blurred abstract appearance.
The painting of the model is excellent.

56 Jun 18 Comment I am very partial to bluebells and you have rendered this beautifully.
the subtle painterly effect still maintains enough detail in the flowers and leaves.

56 Jun 18 Comment The Simplify module allowed you to maintain most of the detail & hence give a please compositional effect.
It would appear that the whole image is in deep shadow & I would try & open up the exposure somewhat. I would particularly like to see more open exp. on the waterfall (perhaps by dodging) and also to get a bit better light separation between the fisherman & the rock behind him.

56 Jun 18 Comment The painting is definitely better than the original.
However, I still find the burnt out highlights because of the midday sun, both on the lion & the tree trunk, draws my eyes to that.

What I do like is the way you have rendered the background tree trunk & the rest of the lion.

56 Jun 18 Comment I have not been that crazy on the watercolor module in Snap Art, although I really like that APP.
I find Topaz Impressions watercolor better.

Having said that your masking effect was effective, except I would have liked to see a bit more detail in the face of the Kyaker.
