hmm the area under tree is bare. Add a tire swing and longer branch or maybe a rusty car. Maybe even a fire pit
hey yeh those are great ideas
cheers

Try adding a mountain or some trees in the background. A lot of "noise" in the deep background gives the illusion that a lot is going on. Also if you want to take the time, making the clouds drift slowly across the horizon or the tire swing swaying can be a good idea, (people's eyes are unconciously drawn to movement, and will keep looking to it - pulling their eyes away from empty areas.)
How about a hosepipe? Should be good, and some holes in the goud, (from dog maybe...?)
All in all, good work!
Oy!
Don't post bitmaps!!!
Dick! Some of us still have dial up!
