Vision: A beautiful painting of a Betta Fish with effective use of space and color. The eye is drawn smoothly to the most detailed part of the painting which makes is pleasing to look at.

Originality: The composition is fairly standard. There is nothing mind-blowing but the art is solid none the less.

Technique: Absolutely wonderful use of the medium. You clearly have mastery of this traditional style of painting and this is what stands out to me the most.

Impact: The impact is limited due to the lack of originality of presentation. The piece is beautiful but it doesn't stand out.

I love your traditional paintings and this is a solid addition to your gallery. Keep up the great work!
