Calm Autumn Day by David Jennings

You have caught the Autumn mood well here David. I like the simple sky and the wet in wet distant trees with their lovely reflections in the calm water. The foreground works well too. I feel the trees let things down a bit, have you used a sponge for the leaves? I find using a course flat brush gives a more realistic effect but what do I know?

Thanks Stephen no didn't use a sponge I used stumbled brush,but the tree trunks an branches I never used a brush tried something different and I thought it worked ok I will use it again for further use,as you say trees could have been slightly better,but it will come together ,I will redo it on a bigger scale next time,but thanks on your comment,
