Despite being a layout with only green plants it has very clear perspective lines and focal point thanks to the slope that ends at the horizon.
Lots of shadows textures and exquisite detail which recreate a natural and interesting environment.
As with almost all forest-style layouts there is excess of driftwood some almost unnecessary. When they repeat themselves they set the rhythm a lot and make the area monotonous and uninteresting.
The front is fine but a little squeezed between the foreground and the front glass.
Probably if the void on the horizon were bigger it would increase the lightness and breadth of the layout as a whole.
Anyway it's a very powerful layout and it holds our attention for a long time. Ah and it seems to be much bigger than it really is!!! Another touchdown yeah!!!!
Congratulations!!!
Well done!
