sounds like good advice, from Piotr.
Good work with the chow, I think it would have benefitted from you bringing more of your study work into it, like the reflections in the first swamp study would have been well applied to the reflection of the tree in the finished piece.
One thing to watch with reflections is that you don't always just get a mirror image of the reflected object, day for example you put a chair on a mirror and stande back, you see the underside of the chair in the reflection, rather than just a flipped version of the chair. Extreme example I know, but it's worth considering that stuff. Also water will distort and mess things up with light and movement on the surface, but you can see that in your studies so you've definitely noticed it.
Good stuff though, keep at it.
