I lean toward #4. It keeps the shadowing in the right places and the flow is pleasing.
#3 seems most pleasing to my eyes! Good luck!
Hi Deb,
I liked it from all sides...
But as you asked, i scrolled up and down many times and concluded that I would choose the second one...
It is upwards and left which symbolizes progress...
the present background is ok...
Or do something which is light...
I almost always prefer a diagonal from lower left to upper right but, in this case, I fell in love with No. 3!!! Beautiful, Deb. And what are you thinking to finish it off and fill that white space?
Deb, I would go for leaves 3. There is no rational reason for this choice - I looked quickly at all 4 versions, and my eyes were automatically drawn to this one. However, I think any of these four would work:-)
Does this help?
Hi Deb, I like the Leaves 4. I for some reason can't see the first one. Sometimes it's like this with blogger lately for me. but I love them all, But I'd go with the #4 and do a very dark background varying some of the colors which will make them pop even more. Gorgeous!! take care, Diana
The fourth makes more sense than the other three. Lovely work!
I like better the 4th one Deb, looking forward to the next step
I prefer the landscape orientation and number 2 looks like it is upside down and kind of awkward. I prefer #4. It seems the most dymanic to me.
To my eyes, 3 has the best flow, followed by 2, then 1 then 4. Beautiful work, Deb.
Thanks everyone! I've got all the "votes" tallied and taped to my desk - I'll wait for a few more before I make any changes!
p.s. to Carolyn - BUY DANIEL SMITH paints - they are THE BEST!
I like leave #2 or #4.
These are stunning, I prefer the orientation in #3. Just my 2 cents.
I liked #3 best as it seemed a more natural flow. I wonder if preference depends on whether you are right or left handed? I'm right handed, so leaves flowing right works for me. ;-D
I think #3 wins out over the others ways. Something about the leaves cascading down from the left catches my eye and is more appealing to me.
I am way behind on blogging and by now it is a bit late to vote but I do want to say that the leaves are BEAUTIFUL. I love sycamore leaves. My favorite orientations are 3 or 4.
I like #3 and #4 the best. I think #3 is probably my favorite though because of the vertical orientation.
Thanks again - by my tally #3 wins over #4 9-8. I won't be getting to this immediately, so if I get any more votes those numbers may change before I'm able to finish the painting.
three is my favourite
Latecomer here, I prefer #3 as well. Yay team! :-)
Another late comer - No: 4 please without any doubt.
