hey really neato pic I must say and I really liked some of the other stuff on your site, cool style.
Since u asked for advice, I think the green is taking over a little bit too much but that is probably more about taste. I did some experiments and added more red in the color balance to smooth out the green and decreased the brightness a bit.
U asked about life right? so I am not sure if I am helping here, maybe u meant realism and or something else, hmm maybe I should hide instead Embarassed

.
If realism there are other things to consider.

otherwise real cool style
ha en trevlig dag. Smile

here's the color balance experiment

Hi Matthew:D
Thank you very much for your help! And for your kind words about my other stuff Embarassed

I'll have a look on the colour matter... your right it is perhaps to green.

I didn't meen more realism... just more life... action... variation... it's hard with a picture where the characters are calm.

Perhaps some mist?

Any way... thank you:D

Ha en trevlig dag du med:D
