Wow the light is truly fabulous in this painting. I wish I could use lighting like you do. I find it very clever the way you paint details only where it is required. Plus the colours are very nicely chosen. You actually manage to suggest what is around the picture (like this big mountain or heavy cloud on the top right). This is really awesome!

I suppose the solution is actually simple, just leave very few white spaces and make everything quite dark.

You woods seem so deep, this is terrific! Well done!

Cheers,
