I only add the (question mark) because I'm wondering if I need anything else done to it.. Everyone's telling me to leave it but there are things I wanted to fine tune.
Any suggestions?

I love it, keep it that way!! Also, this
painting produces awesome visual effects
for those with cortical visual impairment.
I could look at these for hours and not get
bored. This is not a jab. For those who think otherwise...
Just because my vision does not represent the world, in the same way as yours represents it, does not invalidate what I see. Art is subjective, and each person viewing it comes to the table with their unique view of the world, shaped by emotion, age, experience, as well as physical factors.
Nor does it invalidate the artists' ability, simply because I like their work. It does not make someone's artwork 'bad', simply because a person with visual impairment also finds it attractive.
If anyone gives you a hard time over it, just remove the comment, I'll understand why. And, for anyone wondering...Yes, this has happened before (my post caused more harm, than good, because of shallow/immature people).
The circumstance was that this artist had some
amazing pencil drawings. My Dad was very impressed with the 3-D effect. I had never had the privilege of seeing any 3-D effect, due to cortical visual impairment--until my Dad showed me those pictures. It blew my mind!
No other picture that I had seen, in my life,
conveyed the intended visual effect to me,
though it always worked for others with normal
sight. So I couldn't help but to write in.
But, people who did not like his artwork, then used my post, as some sort of validation, to their criticism that his artwork was no good.
In case you are curious, your artwork creates
shifting effects, where one aspect of the painting stands out, then another part of the paining stands out--completely changing the interpretation of what the subject of the painting is. For example, the water shifts into a thick metallic leafed book, viewed from the bottom end, the pink/white tree then takes a
very slight 3-d effect, as it becomes part of the book cover. But, then you get to the green trees, which leads to another shift, where the water part becomes a sky (despite the fact that this places the sky below ground level of the green trees), with the tree trunk of the pink/white tree transformed to lightning. Very cool :)
Even if you were not trying for that effect, it still indicates a very unique style. Since this is only the 2nd time I've seen such effects. And, I've looked at many pics, as I spend most of my days surfing the net.
