Very neat background work friend! It feels very alive. Maybe you could add some forsaken temple on the back to maximaze the creepy feel you get from mistly jungles like this! Also, seems like you forgotten to add this to the art portal , unless its my browser's glitch. When you submit an art piece , make sure you tick the box saying "this is not a sketch , include it on the art portal." This way many more people will be able to see it and vote on its awesomness ;)

Oh wow, thanks for the reminder! I didn't know about that. I'm still new to this site. ^^
Very nice
Looks completely natural. Except for the, y'know, giant structure in the background. Makes me think of a "near-future war video game" type of thing.
Anyway, how do you want people to view this? From a distance, it looks realistic and dandy, but up close you can see the effects that you did on leaves how they're splotches of paint or a different style thing. In that way it looks odd since they stand out.

Yea I was just trying new ways to paint and I was trying to add more noise to the piece. I'm a new artist and I'm still trying to find a way to paint
You did a very nice job on this work. The coloration and design of the plant life is quite realistic and calming, the distant background nicely fits in with being hidden by fog, yet has a needed presence. The water just radiates its presence- its own life- as the strongest part of this work. The presence of heat and humidity also really jumps out.
For improvements, I would have to say to improve the definition of the edging of the plant life and the rock, but not in a way that detracts from the piece. There also needs to be a stronger wind sense to the location; the water perhaps needs a bit more of flowing nature to it. The background walls, while nicely present, seem to be a little colder than needed.
Yet you still created a very good piece. Keep at it.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind
Nice painting. It's a good show of sfumato, but it almost becomes a study of it instead of a painting on it's own. Additionally the rock off to the left looks like a mountain due to its dramatic contrasts and deep valleys, it just seems out of place. If the rock off to the left was covered in foliage or if it is a mountain you were to take away the large canyon to make the mountain to scale it would make this a more cohesive piece.
