You're right, there's not really enough to crit. So far, I do like it though. Are you going to put anything on the bridge?

looks like the start of a cool composition... but yeah! there is not much to crit yet! maybe try doing some thumbnails and value studies first before rendering details though- this will give you a better idea of what it will look like in the end... also, with environments such as this with a lot of atmospheric perspective, i find it helps to make a mess first and then tighten up the areas you want to draw attention to... otherwise you might just get tired by rendering everything piece by piece.

Oh yeah, therel be stuff on the bridge.. and more detail-- lamps, "ropes" .. etc.. but my main concern is the water.. how on earth do I make the water? and even worse, the waterfall?! Hints please!!

Also, the buildings in the backdrop, (anythin but the bridge) what do I do to hide them? theyre stealing attention from my sweet bridge!...

Jlo, I tried doing some thumbs.. but colors just aint my thing.. it just turns into a mess:(

Im afraid Ill overdo the detail, BIGTIME. and get bored, and drop it.. oh well.

:bash: my bad.
