Critique on my new piece WIP: Lotus seed harvest

The colors are beautiful! Not mudy at all. Nice value and color contrasts! Very cool image!

@xin-li I was just typing a reply, when you responded with the update! I got on a kick looking at boats and paddles Looks like they do have a rowing forward style boat with two paddles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ4Fujsr274&t=66s They just cross them and have a stick at each side to hold them in place.

I do really like the latest change though, I feel it gives it more movement leading into the piece.

@xin-li I like how you have change the colour intensity and value of the dragonfly on the right to cut down on it as a distraction. This clearly must only be me but I find it still a tad distracting because of it's size. Anyways I have no other issues with it. I think it's lovely and a wonderful glimmer glimpse of someone else's upbringing.

@Heather-Boyd thank you for your feedback. I will play around with the size of the dragonfly and see how I feel about it :-).
@Coley thank you so much.
