it feel's like i have been here before
a little too much blurr
still good tho

That white/bluish light was a good choice, it really sells the appearance of a forest on maybe an overcast day, as opposed to a warmer light.

The trees look a bit cartoony. Personally I prefer more realistic backgrounds so I would suggest trying to shade the tree leaves with shorter brush strokes instead of doing this gradient type shading; you might be able to simulate the look of tree leaves without too much extra effort. If you do this you should be careful not to arrange the tree leaves so much like a circle and maybe try to make some branches near the bottom.

As for the river, you would probably be able to see through to the bottom in the shallower parts, plus maybe it could kick up some whiter foam when it goes over rocks (although maybe in a tranquil picture like this it wouldn't do that, idk). Idk how to actually achieve these effects myself though because I suck at water lol.

I don't think the blur is necessarily a bad thing, it helps give it a more dreamlike and calm feeling, I think it could also be good for very sunny and hot landscapes, to simulate the way hot air refracts light.

Blurrier than the time I saw my friend t posing through my window.

I like it. Gives it that found-footage feel

even though its blurry i fucking love the water just something about it im drawn too
