Comment from filly421
I really enjoyed your story.Thanks.
Like the picture of the boy catching his crawfish and the sweet dog sitting next to him.
Love the colors.
How bright our memories can be.
Nice composition alloting a good amount of space to each of the elements of water, rock, grass and sky.
Good details..the rings in the water, the definition of the rocks, the lines in the grass, the foliage, birds.
I like that bright red crawfish.
Good textures throughout.
Like the horizontal lines countered by the diagonal line from the rocks to the frame, and then all the circles in the water.
well done.

Oh this is just lovely Mark. What a great little scene you've conjured up here. Your expert eye for detail is evident as always and that little doggie is just adorable!

Comment from Victoreus
Adorable, simply adorable...especially with the little puppy sitting along beside the young boy. You have recreated a great memory here. I love the colors and you pictured the crayfish perfectly - pond depiction is perfect too.

Wonderful image very well presented. Love the colours and composition. It would make a great illustration. You are very talented, and should be rightly proud of. Thanks for sharing.
