Feedback

After showing that image with all of James' notes added to Bry through dropbox, she still thought it was too light, which proves what James said about starting lighter because it's easy to go darker. She wants me to try a few different ways and pop them up on Dropbox over the weekend for Tuesday. Here are some I've revisited tonight -

This was my attempt at making it darker. I made the broken branches and leaves in the very front alot darker, Also the contrast on the big leaves is more pronounced. I've added some blockier, darker shading to the trees, and some foliage to the BG.

This one just has a soft brush of shadow to the trees, and a darker BG colour.

This one is mostly the same, but the trees have slightly darker shadows, and the branches have been shaded more. The foreground branches and leaves have been darkened.

I applied 2 really quick colour layers, just to see how they would be affected.

I'm still going, but I'm trying to keep on track of the feedback and my tests.
