That is awesome! The water droplets practically look real and the colors are wonderful. The composition is also very good with the outlines of the other plants and water running off the edges. You shadows and highlights give it depth. I don’t see any mud that wouldn’t belong there and it isn’t overworked. It’s perfect the way it is.

But you’ve continued to work other paintings and that worked, so just know that I like it as is.

I love it and hope you feel it’s finished.

It has a beautiful clarity right now that might get lost if you start adding more detail.
