I dont know if its the case,but the water looks like ice to me..I like the sky and the colors...I think the bird might be a little too big(perspective issue)

I think you could make it better with a little more work

I think Im gonna make a short key for this question cause Ive asked it like a dozen times for crit week and it seems to be the culprit in many of these pieces -

Is that color dodge?

I know what you're saying about the color, but its all contaminated because of your white. You have color but you have even more white and its killing your piece.

The values - again a victim of the god light - need to be arranged better- its almost as light in the Fg as the BG

The composition isnt that interesting - two similar shapes, sizes and values on both sides.

That house...does it have flood insurance cause its on its way down...

shadows are going black - which makes things flat and dead

Overall, stay away from blacks, whites and color dodge...

Rascar Capac -- no not the color dodge, but yeah ur right to much white, as for the composition hmm yeah i could make it a bit more interesting with some nice highlights/shadows maybe .. ill c what i can do , thx!
