On Composition
CONGRATULATIONS on WINNING!
My teacher, George Passantino, reminds me when I win an award to understand what the judges liked about the piece, and learn from that. In your case, I am sure it is much more than size that captured their votes!
I echo the comments made above on this exciting work, and look forward to seeing revised version.
I would add a note about what I call "same-direction syndrome." I would have angled the middle rear figure toward viewer's right to break the impression of all leaning back.
Also, one or two figures might be enough to keep in such sharp focus. Variety of edges and chroma might also add to creating one center of interest.
The fact that they are all on different levels helps minimize these concerns, and adds to the beauty of this wonderful piece just as is!
