A bit too generic. Change the lettering, and it could be a tribute to any actor. It would have been nice to see something to help connect it visually to Clint. Maybe a Magnum or a .44 bullet. Something...

Too dark overall, and the light striking the foot doesn't match the "setting sun" effect BEHIND the mountains...
Nice work on the bigfoot, but it can't be fully appreciated when it's just dark and muddled looking.

Good job, but too dark, especially the bottom RH corner.

The eye whites are still too bright white. But the skin coloring is very good.

The edges of the arms have a bluish cast, and her legs are a noticeably different color from the rest of her body.

Whether or not you meant the play on words, the image shows the spheres in front with reflections that resemble little faces on them, that look very cute, so yes, they ARE "attractive spheres!"

Really nice work, good job!

Attractive Spheres

MossyB says:

Good overall composition, the eye is nicely led across the painting.

Your biggest problem is one of being consistent in your painting.
The tree trunks suddenly get very thin from thick, and you over did the above ground roots a bit too much.
Your coloring is also inconsistent. This is most noticeable in the sky. Generally, the sky is slighly darker at the top, getting a little lighter as you get nearer the earth. Your sky has like a "light colored halo" around the picture.
This brings up the biggest consistency problem, the water reflection. Your sky is darker and bluer, with clouds that the sky doesn't show, while your trees are LIGHTER in the water reflection. .

You also have the edges of the water a bit too perfect, more like a swimming pool or a puddle after a rain. If you study some photos of landscapes, you will see that nature is seldom quite so regularly shaped and spaced.

Here is an example to show you - Notice the coloring of the sky and the trees, and along the edges of the water:

It's a good start, you will get better the more you practice.

Different and creative, but too dark. It's hard to appreciate the bottom half of the image, because the values are too low key.

Very nice composition, but the tree branches are too symmetrical on the left, like the teeth on a comb. You need to paint some branches in the middle of the tree facing the viewer. Branches need to overlap and grow from different directions, not just the sides.

Here is a tutorial about painting pine trees you may find helpful:

Too dark and not enough contrast. It's hard to make out the background, or the top of the creature.

The fishbowl is at a weird perspective angle compared to the rest of the image, the table, the boy, etc. It looks like is it tilted up towards the viewer.

Very nice work, but it needs some sort of perch. No background or perch makes it look like it's floating, or standing on tip-toe.

The "fire" looks like yellowed fungus, And the all black background makes it look like a bad cut out.

Add some (a lot) more reds, oranges, and sparingly add some very bright yellow to white accents to make the flames look more like fire, and put the figure somewhere, either in the middle of a campfire, or a stage, something to create a scene, as opposed to a thing.

MossyB says:

The snow man shows no shadow on his body, although he shows a shadow on the floor. That makes him look very flat and artificial.
Likewise, the two "snowy lumps" are casting no shadows on the floor.

Otherwise, this is very nicely done!

The flipped swan and the bubbles are lit from the opposite side of the woman holding the swan. Light source consistency is always important. The bubbles make no real sense, and you've positioned them so that it looks like the flying swan is pooping... ?

The mirror effect is poorly executed, there is a very noticeable "dip" at the center. You might try the Clone tool to make it a bit more even with both sides.

The lighting of the eagles is poor. With that bright a sun behind them, they should show some backlighting and more illumination from beneath. But they all show strong lighting from on top...

Sunset

MossyB says:

Too chaotic, with no clear focal point to the composition. The white outline around the girl doesn't contribute to anything, smoke, fire, or visual believability. Interesting concept, but too much going on, with no clear direction.

The background of the snowglobe is pitch black...Even distorted, some of all the ambient lighting from the tree lights should be visible.
