    Love the effect and colors. Might take a bit off the top and go to a square format??? I just think there is a bit too much on top..

    Love the colors and textures. And teh effect. I am fine with the crop. The only thing that bugs me is the tiny light green area in the lower left corner....

    Art, thanks for the feedback. I agree, needs to be cleaned up. Unfortunately, I'm getting server errors when trying to access any posting..so will re-post after I can get back in.

    This is a fine use of textures, shapes, colours and design. The result works very nicely and the repost is great.

    Very nice!! Unusual and captivating. The contrast between the top and bottom works well. Nice post processing. Cropping some off the top would also work, but not necessary. The repost solves the little problem. Great work.
