Thank you for the feedback Wendy!

Being this a tribute tu Miyazaki's work, I wanted to give it a "dreamy" and fantasy feeling, if this were a "regular" forest shot with a "regular" distracting elements I'd have made this much darker, as you suggested.

But I'm glad you liked the overall idea, and again, thank you for stopping by and commenting!

Yes, I did that so I could achieve a "pooly" look! :)

Very nicely done. The procedure is more captivating than the foliage, but I can still relate.

a nice take on an otherwise pretty worn out theme
