I like the sepia tones in this Peter; it brings a sense of past into your portrayal of the landscape which I think is lovely - makes you stop and wonder about who lived here and the history of the place.

Like the colour, the warmth, the quality of the drawing, the serenity and calm - the only suggestion I have is that you might think again about the way the baseline of the cottage only just peeks below the top bar of the gate - just a few millimetres more would have worked better, I think. As it is, it reinforces the sense that the foreground is really barred off from the middle and background. It would take very little to correct that and give you an even better painting.

Robert beat me to it about the base of the cottage. Other than that I do like the unusual composition which makes it so interesting
