hey
Firstly, great work ^_^.
I really like both backgrounds, and they make complete sense to me
.
I really like the first one with the tree tops appearing through the mist, but I seem to think the second one better suits the foreground.
Ohh, I actually prefer the previous version of the second background
. The tree trunks look to go at odd angles or something, which makes less sense to me. I do prefer them strait as in the previous version. I'm not sure about the added lightest shade in the latest version also, I think it loses some mood, and I don't think it should be so light down there. I mean, I look at the first background of the tops of the trees, and the lighter shade in it looks fine up there, but using that same lighter shade lower down in the environment looks odd to me. I hope this makes sense
. Ohh, I think the moon looks a little odd also, I think it should be bigger, particularly when it's down low. Have you seen the moon when it is low? well over here in Australia it looks quite large, compared to when it is far higher in the sky. Hmm, I actually think you should think about dumping the moon, and maybe adding it to the first background? but I'm not sure about this. But yea, I really like the mood it has and everything, I think the sillouettes work really well.
But yea, the second background is clearly the base of the trees, sorrounded by the grassy environment and such. Hmm, look at the first background, and then look at the second background, and it seems very clear to me
.
Anyhows, I hope this helps.
editI just had another look at it, and looking at the first background, and seeing how the trees are curvy and such, I see the latest lower background makes sense
. But I think maybe the trunks/bases could be a litle thicker. Maybe you could say the scale of the tree trunks/bases don't look large enough.
I was also thinking that the lighter shade of the latest lower background looks to go well with the moon. I still think the moon looks to small, but I do wonder what it would be like without the moon, and without the lighter shade.
Overall, I think I would most prefer the previous lower background without the moon. But I do think in the latest version, the composition between the moon and the background is better. Hmm, maybe the moon would go better with the previous version if you took it down a shade, as well as made it larger, but again I'm not sure about this.
another editActually I change my mind... I don't think the composition is better in the latest. Maybe this would be so if it was a sun, as it just looks odd to me that the moon lights the background so much.
I was just thinking... the background looks brighter than the foreground in the latest version, which seems very odd to me :\.
