Lovely result @helghast! Love the stream. Reminds me of that ghibli youtube tutorial which fits well in this style 👏
I agree with Adrian that the grass, trees, mountains, sky are a bit on the dark side. On one hand there’s no question about where the focus of the image is (hero tree / stream). But it also feels a bit unbalanced too. Like the hero tree and stream are glowing, which isn’t the goal of the course’s style.
Of course there’s artistic liberty to consider. Really I’m just suggesting to keep these points in mind for your next project. Keep up the great work!
