WOW! This is such a beautiful bold composition. I love the perspective, and depth. There is one area that I’m not quite getting. There’s something that looks kind of like a stem that crosses over that bud and then ends at the midrib of the big leaf on the left. What’s going on there?
Thanks, Zara! And thanks, Pam! I don’t know the name of that thing but I always see them among the fruit. It is indeed a kind of stem but am not sure about the function. There are some pics here https://ahfragomeni.wixsite.com/jardinagem/copia-3-arvores-buriti
Renata, I do think that those fruits are looking a little flat, and you could push that 3D dimensional form a bit more. The light source isn’t clear to me. Is it coming from the upper left? If it is, you could try toning the lower right side of the large fruit darker on the lower right, and make the position of the main highlight more clear, by toning down the secondary highlight. The fruit that’s behind the main fruit could also use some more light source info to show that 3D form. I think that if you moved that highlight that’s on the bottom of that fruit to the top of if, it could help. And then also darken the bottom of it. Hope this helps 🙂
Thank you so much, Pam. This is really helpful, I so appreciate your feedback! I will work on the fruit and the light source and will post again. Thank you!
Amazing vivid colours, love it!

I am a bit bothered by the fruit and the leaves at the top, please do suggest anything you think would improve that are! Thanks!
