Patty, the most problematic thing is still the balance of the figures in the composition. I feel there is too much space on the right, not enough on the left. Even if you keep the figures small in relation to the setting, this still hold true.

The high horizon looks fine to me.

I did not see Alexandra's post about composition until I had begun to lay in color. I have ordered another canvas and they are backordered. So I decided to go ahead with this knowing that the second time will be better. I am moving the painting to critique section and am praying you follow . . . I have lots of issues!!!
