Ok, well I was fooling around in SF and made some waterfalls. Check them out, rate them and please give advice on how to improve them.
Full Waterfall, I added the rock in the middle to make it "less boring". Hows it look?
There's the top part of the water fall with/ the bridge, i wanted to make a ramp up to the bridge but couldn't figure it out.
Left section of the waterfall, I didn't want it to be just a plain cliff so I added that small section.
Please rate and give advice, thanks.

Looks excellent. I don't see any problem or anything to make it look better besides adding something like rocks falling down it. 9.5/10

The waterfall itself is blocky, though everything else looks good. 7.5/10

Not bad, 9/10. I think its nice, but at the same time, its pretty blocky. But you did a rly good job

the bottom of the waterfall doesnt match with the surroundings, it should be parallel to the bridge
the side of the waterfall is too sharp

2/10 the only part i kind of kept me to download the full picture in a new tab was the fact u had a shelf in the waterfall. Good idea. Bad blends. Good cliff blending. Bad setup. For every good aspect, there is a negetive. 1/10 without self.

There's only about four things I could say are wrong with this piece. Believe me though, I've seen worse.
For one, the piece you are using for the waterfall just doesn't work. It doesn't blend in smoothly into others of the same around it without excessive sprites. Secondly, your sprite placement is too thin, given the size of the waterfall. Waterfalls are really sprite hoggers. Lastly, the cliffs aren't randomized too great, and they're very flat and square, it doesn't make for realistic cliffs. And lastly, I just don't care for the whole "waterfall coming out of a bridge" deal. I suggest moving it up a bit and using a line of traps for a smooth drop.
Still, there's some very nice parts to the pierce, the rock in the center is very cool. Right now I suggest you just make the cliffs more "curvy", move the bridge, and change the waterfall block. 6/10
Wooden, how about telling something that will help improve the piece, not just "Blah blah it's blocky blah blah blah".

question does all waterfall in the 2 sides look blocky like that.. never made one before.. if there is no way to blend it then it looks great to me

5/10, it had a good concept but was blocky with the blend of the bridge to the fall and a bit on the cliffs. A few placement errors too of the terrain.

The reason I failed to give advice on how to improove was because it would be the following :
Let me do it for ya.
I don't think that is what he wants to see... the problems and changes would be too much for me to type in a message on this forum. Period.

o-0 that is obvious. It is simply a bad peice of terrain.

Right now I see 3 blocky lines on the cliffs beside the waterfall.
Also, make the bottom and the rock of the waterfall parallel to the bridge, and try using traps to blend the bridge with the waterfall.

If you guys aren't going to type out why you're giving it a bad rating, then don't even bother rating it at all. Constructive criticism allows you to actually improve upon something, it's not a series of messages that make you feel bad about what you've done. From what I see, the truth is that all of you are just bad at terrain, and, unable to provide real advice, just rate things poorly. Real "constructive".

I posted before urmom did, and I pointed out more errors then him, if you don't even want advice, then to hell with you. I think that it's actualy a decent piece, there's room for improvement. Unfortunately, you're not really aware of who you're dealing with. I think Urmom might have made one terrain piece throughout his days. I've made several, (though they're admittedly not great), but my eyes are keen to fine blockiness, which I try to ignore for rating.

As far as I saw, he posted three things wrong with the piece. At this point, you're just making things up to solidify a fallacious argument.
