thanks for the feedback, I made some adjustments with blending modes and tried to create more of a focus to the piece... I had trouble trying to rearrange the boat, although I do agree with several you in saying that its orientation is a little odd. I added the footprints to hint that instead of walking towards the dream-like space, someone is walking away from it. not sure I'm crazy about them, but maybe it helps to direct the narrative and also to justify the boat's direction? i dunno:/
