Something tells me you've been abducted by aliens once. Do you live in Groningen? Today on the radio I heard that a lot of UFO sightings occured there.

I want to know what's wrong with it. Maybe a bad compesition? To much light? Not enough butterflies, etc. :)

What for a competition?

I like it. - But I guess it needs more depth and you should emphasize the butterflies more.
Look a bit at the thumb, that should make it easier for you to find what can be improved.

The fishy disapeered. I agree more depth is needed. Maybe since it's a strong light source the edge of the leaves and trunk and darker flutterbyes should have some highlight (subtle) and just some slightly darker shapes in the bg to make the tree and light come more forward. And just a subtle outline of the flutterbyes so they stand out in the stream of light as well. The rest is awesome as always.

this is a fun animation to watch

i like how you added the light's reflecting off the objects closer too it, it was a grand inprovement and makes it feel more whimsical image then fantasy illustration.
i likes it alot <3

Thanks! :)

been there, done that. scary for me, but the pic is great. :}

Very pleasing art to look at. I'd put this on my wall! I love the contrast of the smudgy background with the well-defined forms in the foreground... The mountains at the bottom remind me of an ancient Chinese illustration. =)

That made quite a difference, the tree stands out more, so do the flutterbyes.
Did you win or is the contest still going?

This is amazing.... the brush strokes! What dimension!

Thanks for the comments!
The contest is still going on (till the end of August) :)

Brilliant

Thank you, Mal.
