It looks peaceful and gorgeous. The composition elements are very well blended.


I would have used a morning (purplish) sky to break the green a bit and emphasize the first plane.

Hey Jackie,this is pretty good for a first attempt.Although I would like to point out a few things.The green in the far horizon doesn`t work well because as things move further into the distance they acquire a blueish tint as it loses depth & contrast in the distance.At the same time try to make the sky more dramatic since a lot of lighting in your scene is denoted by the sky.All in all it`s a great effort at this point but don`t stop experimenting.All the best to you.

Cheers!

I agree with the comments above. I like a lot the composition. The sensation of freedom is very well represented. With the changes suggested to you I think your image would come to a next level.

Keep on cause your work looks great, congratulations Jackie.
