I wanted to get some practice with the recent 15 color competition winning pallet before the next ISOcollab. I find working with restricive pallets to be very challenging so I really needed the practice. This piece took way more time than it should have, and I'm still not all that happy with it. The waterfall itself in particular seems pretty bad but after several attempts to fix it I think the problems are at least partially down to composition.

I actually think the waterfall works nicely, and makes great use of the palette! If anything, I think it might be the still lake that's causing you disatisfaction -- the waterfall looks a little odd juxtaposed with the completely flat water, but I think the solution to that would be to add more texture on the lake, not to refine the waterfall. Good luck!
