Nice work!
Constructive feedback: some of the notes are still a bit midi. The mix is also dry (wetness can hide some of the midi sound of things too).
Acheiving cleanness can sometimes come down to having some elements be dry with more delay on the reverb and some elements wetter with less delay till the beginning of the reverb.
Great vibe overall though.
Definitely one of the more strikingly video-game appropriate submissions. This could honestly work over either a cutscene OR an overworld! I also love the way the staccato stuff develops as you progress through the first half of the song. It also creates a lovely contrast against the more sweeping lines toward the end.
Good work here. I like the peaceful feel you got in it. Dynamics might be something that you want to work on in your next song. (Though I am no expert since I have trouble with the same thing). Good work!
I think the orchestration is pretty good. The main issue I have with it is the string are constantly playing loud. You should have started quieter, build everything up to a climax, bring it back down then build it back up with woodwind and low string sustains. Other than that it's a solid song.
Thank you. Such detailed comments are very valuable to me. I will definitely take them into account
I like the arrangement its very sweet, I really like the change of pace at 2:20 its a nice breath of fresh air to another section more legato. The only thing to consider is play with expression on the strings and probably the sound of the strings itself is very "airy" and bright, some EQ or just a different patch would do the work, well done :)
Thank you for listening carefully and pointing out areas for improvement. It helps a lot for future works. Have a good day!
Love it. So peaceful yet graceful. You got a really good feel here. Reminds me a little bit of Copland of how you job up and down. You did a good job of capturing what was in the painting. I am sad you didn't have a chance to make any more. Great work here!

Love the vibe, would sit nicely in a N64 Zelda (village or town theme).
Suits the painting really well!
Thank you. I tried to recreate painting vibe
Pretty good! Would like to have seen other painting interpretations since I believe this one is on point
Great sub, take care :)
Thank you. Not enough time for other paintings this time, but overall jam theme was great.
so peaceful, it feel like I’m playing a game, thanks for sharing this cool composition!
