Hi Joshna!

I really like your patient that you have for work.. keep it up..!!
the composition and your colors it's good.. only a detail on structure: the perspective point of the pair stand on corner right-down is different related with the general perspective point.. guide for the imaginary trees lines..!!

=)
good work..!!

Hi Joshna,

Great concept! I'm interested in the story already.

I'm having trouble with the point of view. It looks like the Heart should be a 3D above ground object, but to me it blends into the forest floor and gives me the impression that the connecting branches are too short to reach, as if the foreshortening is all wrong.

In this image, I'd expect more contrast and deeper shadows toward the ground and defining the Heart. Also, the tonal difference between the foreground level where the children are and the ledge where it drops off is very little - almost going the wrong way as if the children are actually lower than the ground. I'd lighten the foreground quite a bit and darken the forest floor. I'd expect the children to be in brighter light anyway, as they're closer to the canopy.

Be careful with the light from the Heart, it's easy to make softly lighted objects appear out of synch with an image. It will be easier with a darker background.

Ahaan thats nice..The perspectives are looking so good there..The idea of presenting an artwork from the top is really nicely achieved..In my humble opinion the lighting part can be improved..All the best..Take carez..Cheers:)
