Something is bugging me in it. But some people seem to like it.
I have different versions and cropped editions.
Here is the final somewhat resized :)

Take care.

well done. 3 things 'bug me'

The fact that you have so much open space in the front seems unneeded. Either crop some out or add something in the water like a boat or a rock..

Also the colors seem very dull. a monotone purple + green tree leafs

and where is that light coming from? Why is there a intense light coming from... below the moon?

Hey davi..

I have a cropped version of the painting, where the sea is less big.. i know.. kill your darlings.. but i wanted to post the full version in wallpaper size.

The ligth is lightning in the sky or other fantasy thingie :)
And i choose the colors to give viewers an eerie or ´cold feeling. Like its raining, and you sure as hell wouldnt want to walk that bridge :)

Thanks for your criticism, appreciate it.. mooore :)
Although i won't touch this painting i will take it to me for my next painting.

Take care.

I like the image exactly as it is framed right now(maybe with more attention paied to some regions of water).And I also like the dark feeling it inspires but I think it is too much light on that flowers attached to the bridge and also on that tree.

Heyo bM...you still pimpin it up for eqate? =P (i think i was kicked out for inactivity lol)

Anyways, I really like this. The lighting is lovely, though if it is supposed to be lightning, I think you should make it just a bit more obvious.
Though I agree with others that there is too much empty space in the foreground, I just love the reflection and raindrops in the far foreground, and I dont think you should lose that! If anything, maybe add an unobtrusive object somewhere in the middle.
Regarding davi's comment, I actually like the colors you chose, it gives it a great mood for this piece IMO. Though maybe just do something a little different with the tree? It seems a bit dull right now.

Keep it up man, your work is always awesome =)
