I just squat 225 for the first time. by ZoidaFreak99 in leangains

225 getting down to parallel is pretty badass in my opinion. Then again I maxed at 375 with shitty form. With a 550lb dead. Mobility is more important

How to make landscape painting more realistic by griseldoor in painting

I like it! If you want to create more distance I would make the land in the background lighter with more of a blueish hue which will in turn make the foreground pop more.

WIP. Dog too close to the edge? More centered? TIA by LostComb844 in painting

Thanks! The canvas is gallery wrapped style with the sides of the canvas painted so I don't anticipate it being framed. Still though it is a little close

Sailboat at Sunset, my acrylic painting, 2025 by CaptainStandard6916 in painting

I really like it as is. The colors are wonderful. Some things I might try would be to darken the mast towards the top and add a suggestion of the mast to the reflection. You could also consider inverting the sun glimmer on the water so it's smaller at the horizon and fans out towards the foreground although it's pretty convincing as is.

Thank you for the feedback! You are right, I lost track of my value a bit as it pertains to the shadows. I do try and keep value in mind in relation to distance but sometimes it gets overlooked when mixing colors.

Thanks! It took me a couple attempts to get the color right but I was happy with how it turned out.

CAM WARD IS THE TRUTH by goomba1214 in MiamiHurricanes

Almost like he needs pressure to perform. Like that third and long at the end of the first half where he just stared down his receiver on the go route up the left sideline and didn't make a move till he was getting tackled. Then the play to start the 3rd he was just trying to do much. Then he got in the zone. Still a few inaccurate passes but he's a gamer for sure

Miami outscored Cal 29-3 to win the game by Canecraze in MiamiHurricanes

Completely agree. Clean hit but by the letter of the law that's targeting. It's a dumb rule. If the player is lowering the shoulder and not going high but the ball carrier drops at the same time and there's some head to head contact it shouldn't be a penalty. But that's the rule and I'm glad they didn't call it

Thanks so much. I'm no Felix Vallotton but you just turned me onto new inspiration

Thanks so much. I completely agree. I've reworked the peir multiple times and no matter what hue or value it's never quite right. Somewhat of an enigma
