Gus, The twist and the lime color are very nice!

[Lance Peters]

Hi Gus - love the colour and the lines :)

I think you have been doing some excellent graphic comps, but this one IMO has
too much negative space on the left of frame. Also where you have been selectively sharpening,
there is always a grouping of sharpening artifacts....just overdone.

Here is a suggestion, cropped and a lt mauve to lime green gradient applied
I give these comments as honest critique

Sharp eyes Dave !!! All of these are mostly taste but I also feel tighter would be even stronger Love the tones and textures !!!
