Shade of Summer

I think the leaf texture came out great but maybe just lower the opacity of it some if you can. Leaves don't normally have that sharp of an edge except up close. I feel like this is a kind of scary symbol from fairy tales where a child wanders a little too far from home and finds themselves getting dragged deep into a creepy, magical forest. I like that the lighting for this is dim even in the parts that are in sunlight. The houses seem a little too well placed. I always think of the houses in this time period being rather layed about hodgepodge because they were never built with an overall plan in mind. I agree with the person above me that the overall merit outweighs any flaws but eh. Isn't it the artist's job to nitpick their work?
