I saw that you posted this quite a while ago but I haven't been able to think of anything to say other than the fact that you are getting better at painting all the time. It's great that you keep doing it too. Good work.

i'm now deciding to participate, sorry guys- i'm a flake.

i really like this. i think you did a great job incorporating the under painting, especially in the bottom rocks.
i think it would be stronger if you chose more of a focal point. right now it seems everything is in the same amount of focus, and my eye can't decide if it should go to the large dark shape in the center or the bottom rocks with slightly more interesting marks.

i think sharpening a few of the edges on the front 2 rocks, and maybe bumping up the contrast in the foreground (or down in the background) a little would help. it would help guide the eye up the painting a little more to the dark in the center. and i feel it would move your eye more, and create more depth.

overall i think it has great movement, color/temperature choices, and marks.
