Let me know what you think, it's my first time building such an irregular base with some SNOT technique.

Personally, for me, I'm not a fan of the dark tan tiles at the front/right of the moc. Also not really a fan of all the different colours. I feels like it is a bit too colourful. Otherwise great job on the fence, and the rest of the moc,
Bishons,

The key to good MOC building is a large brain and a kinda big wallet

Thanks, but what dark tan tiles, there are no tiles expect for one 1x1 tile, next to the water?

And it is supposed to be colorful, it's spring and everything is growing and blooming.

I think that the comment about the colors is just that there are enough different variations of earth tones in the "soil" that it's just a little visually "busy". Subtract a few colors or block them a little less randomly, and I think it would take this up a notch. I do love the different types of foliage and the fence. The cattails are a new technique for me, and I love the duck/goose as well. And who doesn't appreciate a good goat flex?! :D

I see, I will try that next time, thanks for the comment.

The bird was supposed to be this: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_coot[/url], but it is maybe a tad too big, not that you can get it much smaller with these bricks, maybe a different technique would allow for that.
