Regarding the work, I drew my attention to the large driftwood and shadow below it on the left, and I wanted to express the naturalness in the form of radiating on the right. There are only a few species of water plants used, but I wanted to look as natural as possible. I couldn't find a suitable background to plant next to the vanishing point, so I planted hair glasses, which are foreground plants, and I think it was a good choice for me personally. Lastly, thank you so much for holding a contest

A very natural-looking depiction of a river bed with elegant driftwood. The natural and peaceful atmosphere is complemented by a bold design with an interesting implementation. The focus points are well documented, different things happen there. One gets the impression of being in front of some kind of elevation or hill. The vanishing point seems to be most likely located at the upper right focus point, which would mean it would be below the visible horizon. The individual parts of the layout fit together perfectly, only the upper, slightly rising part of the driftwood bothered me a bit. Although it brings variety to the very classic design, I find it a bit too obtrusive and therefore too much for my taste. I also had to struggle with the selection of the dragon stones, although their color complement is extremely desirable, at the same time, in my opinion, they do not optimally suit an overall very natural representation of a river bed. The fish are well placed but unfortunately they swim in different directions and towards each other. All in all, a work that I really liked at first glance. On second inspection, I noticed things that I thought were worthy of criticism. That doesn't stop me from paying my respects to you and congratulating you on this very nice work!
