Coming through from. Hey!On first glance your painting composition and subject matter kind of reminded me of :devdamaimikaz"' (and I mean that as a compliment), but upon closer inspection I can see that it is, in fact, very much your own thing.That being said the subject matter is quite interesting and the composition is very strong. I like especially like how the canvas is slightly slanted and how certain elements lead the eye across the canvas: the positioning of the flags, the edge between the mountain tops and the sky, the flapping coat and the eyes of the main character.Other things I like are the dark silhouet of the character, which is very strong against the mostly white landscape, and the puff of moisture coming from his mouth.The perspective on the flags looks a little off, though. The front two banners appear to be equally close when looking to their position on the ground, the back one is just a little smaller. This can be fixed by putting the middle banner slightly to the left and lowering it some more. It appears to be standing in a little bit of a ditch, so it makes sense for it to be lower.Your rendering looks really good and you have a good seense of lighting. The different textures of the snow, the rocks and the trees in the background work really well. The different cloths and materials on the man also look great.You could darken the foreground and the front banner some more to create more depth from atmospheric perspective. The banner way in the back could also be a just a little lighter. I am also missing a dark shadow underneath the man and underneath his coat.I am wondering why the front banner is so transparent? I realise that banners/flags can be slightly transparent, but this seems too much for me personally. I feel you should only be able to see a silhouet of the banner behind it and not much more.Overall this is a really strong piece! Very impressive. Keep up the good work.
