First, I want to say Congratulations on winning this contest! It was well deserved! Second, this is such a beautiful painting you created. Showing the first signs of Spring coming when the leaves slowly start to bloom from the trees. Beautifully done, thank you for sharing!

Nice creation. The depth is good. The details is great. The branch and learned form is great. The shading is great. The blend of the colors is great. The presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Creative approach and great job overall.
