I wanted to compliment you on my favorite part of this painting and that is the very colorful whites you have painted in the shadows of his shirt.
If you haven't delivered this painting yet, I would suggest one more area that, to me, needs a bit more attention, though. I think there needs to be more naturalism in the trees. They seem rather quickly drawn and more like "symbols of trees" rather than keenly observed shapes. I am glad you lightened them so they are less distracting, but the rest of the painting is so well put together that the trees take away from it, at leas to me.
