If you don't accept criticism you'll never progress in the art world, you'll only deteriorate and become a worst artist. This isn't freelance art where you get paid $1m+ for a red dot on a white canvas background,this is graphic art where there is more to a photo than just the focal point...
hmm it took me 10 minutes to adjust my zoom options. When I zoomed in the pixels weren't showing. I also had to download a font and find a good picture. Also the text also has a slight outline I would make a much better version. But I was trying to prove a point and use a similar format.
This thread has become a, "I can do this faster than you, so it must be better," kind of one-up thread.
To OP, stop crying about criticism and take it, or keep moaning and stay at the shitty level of imagery you're at now. The text is awful, and Minecraft pictures with text and a greyscale effect aren't designs. Start following tutorials to make something actually worth looking at if you want to ever get better. You're also an immature cry baby who gets butthurt and tries to defend yourself against everything. It's the internet, stop taking shit so seriously and get over yourself.
Storm, this is a thread about his art, not your's. Don't try to make it look as if you're some fucking elite artist because you can copy and paste images into a .png file and save it.
Pathogen, once again... Not a thread about your shitty art, it has nothing to do with you. Give real critique or please just stop.
You all should learn to C&C.

Now..for some ACTUAL constructive criticism... The wheat completely ruins the mood you were going for, the picture feels like its missing something...like maybe some snow? Like the snow animation from Minecraft? You should of had some kind of hill behind the trees..looks like he's on skyblock :P Also there is a huge difference between constructive criticism and insulting.
The wheat is completely irrelevant from the picture. Seriously. It isn't supposed to be a sad mood. It's just a random picture I've made. Snow is happy, right? So I decided to add green colours... even though.. Okay, it is a bit... CRAP. But, okay. I don't even care anymore because I know way more better ways to do this.
Then if the wheat shouldn't be relevant,it's a design fault on your side.
it covers a chunky space on the image and is the only colored element,making people focusing on it.
The guy in the picture has a sad face,which ofc paired with winter and lack of snow gives a sad mood.
Ofc,on there should've been something to fill the background: it truly looks like the place is a floating island or something like that.
Additionally,the color of the wheat is blurred:some borders aren't colored and the color spreads around it.
I also feel the text is too darn simple,but that's just my personal preference.
On a general note:
You state this is just a random picture and yet you want to ignore negative criticism? "Don't like it? Leave the thread and don't comment."
Oh yeah and "Snow is happy, right?"
well:
1) Snow by itself can't be happy
2) It can or can not make people feel happy
3) Winter != snow
4) There is no snow in the image
Lastly: "I don't even care anymore because I know way more better ways to do this."
Then do something better instead than contradicting yourself...and you know more ways to do the same thing? How interesting...
This thread is a train wreck.
