@SFischer Love the concept, perspective, and color palette! I do agree with Heather though, I think choosing to tighten up some edges of characters either in the foreground or background would help.

Personally, I think tightening the background figures/ground/sky to be more crisp and leaving the foreground figures out of focus and blurry like they are now would really pull it all together and direct the eye to the kid on the dino. Right now I'm drawn to those kids silhouetted in the front row first, and the dinosaur read as a tree initially until I looked closer.

@Heather-Boyd @Kasey-Snow Thank you for the feedback! I certainly can see the clarity issue now.

Congrats to the contest winners! Well deserved.
I am a bit torn about the new format of the critique arena though. While I appreciate having positive elements of each image highlighted, I feel I learn so much more from discussions or draw overs on how images can be improved. just my 2 cents...

I just started watching the critique video right now. Looks like I missed out a very fun live critique party :-). contrats to the contest winners.
