@sherylj This is looking good! My suggestion would be to work on making your highlight shimmer a bit more… close in on it with a very light touch so that the tones feather a bit more and the transition from light to dark is not so abrupt. Then make that light area a bit more irregular so it doesn’t look like a straight line. A good way to work on this is to find a wider branch to work from as a subject; that way you have a little more horizontal room to get some nice feathered tones. Great work!
Looks great to me!
