Hi, Anita, I like the composition with the strong verticals of the boards and the horsetail. Thanks for the Ervin Bartis mention - I hadn't heard of him before. For some reason I keep wanting to crop just a sliver off of the bottom - leaving in about half of the two arching light colored stems. I'm not sure why.

I think it is because that brings the horizontal line down to the 1/3 line. Thanks!!!
