Hi @TessaW Yeah this makes sense, I do like the cropped version and more focal points to the pool and the important part: the Mermaid! I appreciate it, Thank you!
Making notes of all the comments and opinions on this piece, so that I remember these important factors for future creating

@CLCanadyArts Thank you for your comments. Structural touch ups need addressing for sure, thank you. I like the more story telling aspect you suggested with the kids claw and connecting it with the Big claw. I probably chose the bulky crane to fill space and not think of story. Things to remember!
I've removed the "shark Fin" out in the open water, I feel it wasn't needed. tangent avoided! Cheers!

@NelsonYiap Good call on the focal points, I tend to get held up on filling in the image more than anything. Something to remember going forward, thank you!
Thank you for your valuable feedback. It will help me going forward. Cheers!

@theprairiefox Great things to consider. Thank you for your input, and valuable feedback!

Hi all,
I was wondering if you can critique this piece. Time is valuable for sure, I understand why Lee and Tom didn't critique all of the entries (at least that's what I gathered after skimming the Mermay crit subscriber video.) I get that you can learn from other's works, but sometimes you just need the focus on your particular piece. I need eyeballs from artists, and not just Instagram hearts haha. Was hoping to hear some thoughts on this piece from them, but I open it up to you all if you want to crit this. Thanks in advance and feel free to tear it a part! -Todd

@Chip-Valecek same here. Hope to see todays Crit in the recorded version

Mine is missing too. With nearly 100 entries maybe another Slideshow is coming with the last half? Either way Thanks again for the slideshows!

My Mermay entry. “Sea-ze the treasure!” Great work all!

An Impactful teacher and I feel like I’ve known him for years so this is very sad news, Praying for Will and his family!

Thanks Lee,
It is nice to have an additional benefit for being a subscriber. This is the pep/motivation I am in need of! Just another reason why I enjoy SVSLearn and the people behind it
