I mentioned previously that I was working on a new painting (not than anyone was listening ), and I've finally finished it. Thanks to all of your help, I think it's a HUGE improvement over the last one. Obviously, it could be better, and that's my plan eventually, but for a starting point, I'm pretty damn pleased.

As always, constructive criticisms encouraged.

I did see the last one and it was pretty good. This one is excellent!! I don't like the watery reflections in the windows though. Nice work.

Yeah, I think the reflections are a little too much. I wanted SOME distortion, so I opened up the liquify window and went crazy . Ah, well, I still have the original PSD file so I can change it if I want.

Thanks, by the way.

I agree. Like it, except the reflections.

Do you think it should have no reflections at all? I think they help to add a bit of perspective and realism, but I agree that they don't look quite right. Maybe I should try scrapping them altogether?

the angle of reflection is off... IMHO

Just a heads up here mate, this is still an ongoing contest and it is considered bad form to advertise/ask/show images in an ongoing contest.

I will for sure give you some input after the contest has concluded.

Please dont take offence as none was intended.

I did think of that after I posted it, but since it wasn't the actual picture used in the contest, and since I made no indication that it was an entry in any contest, I hoped it wouldn't be too big a deal.

Thanks for the heads up, though. I'll remember that next time.
