I like the repeating concentric patterns - and also that you chose to include an odd number and not center them; all that creates interest. Regarding the brown leaf - I have mixed feelings - on one hand it breaks up the scene, as you state? On the other hand it's a distraction that I don't find terribly interesting. Not sure it adds anything? What do others think?

The focus seems a bit soft (could be, in part, due the low resolution image).   Posted: 12/13/2024 14:49:59

Wayne, interesting subject matter. You might consider sharpening image. Wishing you and your family a Blessed Christmas..   Posted: 12/13/2024 15:12:25

I'm not bothered by the leaf, but wish we had a version without the leaf for comparison.   Posted: 12/13/2024 16:20:56

For me, I would prefer this without the leaf. I like the idea of repeating curves and shapes, but I would prefer also a sharper image. It may have just been degraded due to cropping.   Posted: 12/13/2024 21:19:27
