Such a pleasant scene and wonderfully done. I admire how you have rendered the trees.

I agree. The water puddles are extremely realistic. The only thing that I'm bothered with is how my eye gets drawn to the sunlit tree on the left - the trunk seems pretty fat for its height and seems a little odd that it "cuts off" at the top and sprouts a new limb. Even with that said, the painting is lovely and very pleasant to look at; the walking couple can't help but make the viewer smile.

This does have a lovely, serene feel. I like how you handled the people. Kim is right, maybe darkening the shadows on the trunk would help. Also, since the sun is shining what do you think about scratching out some sparkles or reflection in the water?
