submerged

I'd like to say first and foremost that I love the "other world" look to this and your subject is interesting and original. You have shown a great sense of depth in the underwater part of the painting. I particularly find the blue figure haunting because it looks like the silhouette of a mans face and out stretched arm.

This piece showcases superb skill, natural talent and a superior amount of knowledge in the elements of design.

However, I feel that it is top heavy with too much tinted variations of your color selection. Though this may have been your focal point, it disrupts the eye flow of the piece by making it unbalanced.

I understand the concept you were going for, but I feel that the painting is lacking some unity.

Ways I feel your piece could be improved are adding a more saturated red to the tree top as well as some shaded variations. Another way to achieve balance is by adding tints (pinks) to the underwater part.

This is a lovely piece, I like it very much and have enjoyed spending time studying it!
