@LauraA I love the dancing couple in the foreground and the dancing footprints on the snow. Your color and lighting are really setting the mood for this piece. It is really pretty and poetic.
I like what @Braden-Hallett did with the lighting. It gives more focus to the dancing sweetheart.I am not sure about the two other foxes in the illustration. They have interesting gestures and beautifully drawn. But I am not sure if they contribute to the main story. Wound the image work better without the other 2 foxes in the background?
-
@LauraA Agree about the coattail - this is such a strong piece!! Absolutely love the style
-
@Braden-Hallett Oh my goodness, you're right!
I must have erased the foot on the black layer at some point and forgot to put it back in! And I love what you did with the lighting--good work on my piece there!@xin-li I did take the other foxes out more than once, but kept putting them back in. I'm sticking in an older version without them below. Tell me what you think!
And I did take the coattail out. Thanks, @Kevin-Longueil and @BichonBistro! Have to go out now and hope I have time to finish this properly before the deadline. Nothing like some fresh eyes!

So do the upvotes mean you like the answer or out with the foxes?
-
@LauraA I can't decide on the foxes
p.s. don't forget to remove the coattail! -

I say out with the foxes
-
I agree @LauraA the other foxes were a distraction. I say out with them. Lovely work!
-
I also feel the story is clearer without the other foxes. If you want to have other foxes in, try to think a bit more on how they can enhance the story: depending on the story you want to tell, maybe their focus should be on the couple as well? - making everyone being charmed by the beautiful couple and fogot about everything else.

Ok, tomorrow when I have time the foxes are out, and light is in! You know, it’s always hard to let go of something you worked hard on, but that’s a lesson in itself!
Thank you all so much for your help!! Good night!

I also prefer this without the other foxes. The mood of your piece is so peaceful - It's one of my favorites this month!
