Good dynamic composition. Looks like the warmth of early spring.

Who ever thought that muddy water could be so lovely! A strong composition, and wonderful use of yellows and blues against the more neutral browns.

Very, very nice. A simple scene transformed by color and light. Just enough details to capture the scene without becoming overworked. You could stop right there, IMHO.

Another pass. I still need to fix the background and settle the trees. Trying not to overwork. Ideas?

It is beautiful. It is nice and loose, but with good contrast in values. You could push it more, but it is pretty good where it is. I love the water.

Without getting too detailed, you might still add the very delicate branches.
The liner brush is great for that. A lot of these big trees would have some off-shoots.
Dynamite…..and almost done eh?

@dcam, yes there are myriad fine branches in the reference. I will try to find the balance on the final pass. I am struggling with the golden background trees. There Is so much depth there and value changes, and also some glorious lighted top branches which I want to capture. Then just a bit more work on the ground plane. Hoping to finish this on Sunday. I’ll post the final. Thanks!

Personally I think you should leave it to be the “gesture of the trees” the main mass if you will, without trying to add every tiny branch and twig. Add the lovely light you are talking about, and values, and anchor the trees more, and leave it at that.

One more short pass after this, to push the gray back up into the gold very carefully. Then try for a bit more top light magic. Input is very welcome!

Most importantly, Your values and colors are working wonderfully. I wouldn’t overwork it.
