    Ah, cool stuff. The colour in this piece are really great, and I just enjoy the overall setting. Rocks old city waterfall is always a winner with me
    If I may critisize one thing though...there seem to be a lot of really sharp edges in this piece, which totally draw my eye. I find myself looking surprisingly little at the village, but more at the forground rock, the trees and the line between the background mountains and the sky. Personally I think if you pushed some of these edges back a bit just with some soft dabs of the background colour, the piece would be much stronger.
    Also throughout the whole piece you have a pretty photographic finish, whereas the water and in part the roofs of the houses are really quite painterly. And some strokes of the water crossing over the forground rock. Maybe you should tighten up some of these things a bit to marry all elements together.
    Otherwise I really like this piece, but these two points really stood out to me, so I wanted to mention them, hope that's okay!

    Craaaaazy details Frank. Do you paint all those rocks individually, or do you use textures ?  Looks amazing regardless.
