Greetings panjoool! Another frontpage piece from you is always a pleasantry, but critiques can always help out.The overall composition of this piece is quite nice, very surreal and heavenly in nature with incredibly dreamlike lighting and colours. You've done a good job of correcting the colours of all of the elements to fit in with a nice palette and bring in an atmosphere of warmth and an odd degree of homelike comfort, despite being anywhere but in a comfortable setting if it were in any other context. I also appreciate your attention to detail with the blurring of the strawberries in the front, with a decent understanding of depth definitely present.In terms of lighting, it's obvious that this piece isn't meant to be realistic but it still definitely has the components of major light sources (as any piece should have), but this introduces a few problems. It appears as though you haven't selected a single light source to be the main focus for the image, as the majority of the strawberries line up in lighting to varying degrees with the main two characters, but the strawberry southwest of the male character's lighting provides a completely different point of view. One could argue that the light source could be coming from the planet in the near background, but it would likely be a bit more diffused since it's bouncing off of a rocky surface rather than coming from a straight beam of sunlight, and on that note, the aforementioned planet/moon should provide the same general direction as the rest of the objects do.Another inconsistency that is a little bit hard to let up is the stars in the background. Although the image is meant to be heavenly, and it could be chalked up to being a stylistic choice, stars can be seen through some of the clouds in the background, and through the strawberries. Although this provides its own fantasy element to it, and the clouds could be forgiven, I do think that the strawberries are a bit of an odd choice (also worth considering that only two of the strawberries have this effect clearly, while the one on the top left likely should as well since it's in front of a nebula.)This stars issue is most apparent with the celestial body in the top right. The planet/moon is solid and likely shouldn't have any starlight passing through it, but you did have the right idea of using a layer style that allowed the general sky color to do so, since the regular moon behaves this way. My recommendation would be using a detailed gradient to maintain the sky's colour without allowing stars to pass-through, which would allow it to remain consistent and not take away.My last note is the clouds in the bottom. The left side has a fairly large pink aura surrounding them on the top edge which appears to be an artifact from cropping, or possibly a stylistic choice. Given the lighting and perspective, they should likely end on a white/bright colour rather than a purple.Nonetheless, this piece is quite beautiful overall and although it isn't perfect, I've enjoyed staring at it and think it's a wonderful addition to a favourites gallery. Overall, great work, and definitely keep it up!
