I just started working on this and its my first ever CW attempt. Im really just wanting to know how it compares to the CW standards? any thoughts and tips etc would be useful. i have no idea if it would ever even make the cut or what i would need to change to make it meet the standards. Lemme know your thoughts please :D

I'm not any good at art, but I can judge from what I'd like to buy.

Firstly, I don't think you need to do HA cutouts anymore? Since the base layer became movable.

I don't say this to be mean (really!), but it doesn't look great right now (I'm sure you can make it better :D). The borders and line on the bushes are too thick for my taste, and I feel that the sign doesn't add anything to the background. The sign looks a little flat and doesn't fit that well.

I do like the sky a lot, however. The clouds look good and I really like the colors :)

thanks for the feedback i appreciate ur honesty. the sign is there because its based on the colorado/utah state line

Okay. Maybe you could add small text to it?
