Ok my apologies, I could not get this posted as an edit and wanted to share. Thank you all for the critiques. In my hurry to do my 1st FFFC I forgot the very basics of art. So this is the result of cutting the 1st one down and I do like it much better.
Wow! What a difference the cropping made to the piece. I think your distressed twig is now more of a focal point and the quilt has much more perspective. Thanks for sharing the updated version.

Yes!! That is better. Pam is right the beautiful twig is shown off better.

Nice work, for me it invokes the romance of the Fall season. The Twig does the work.
ReplyDeleteI love the softness of this piece. And your quilting is great, as always. This is a keeper.
ReplyDeleteI really love the crop of this piece! I like how the focal point takes up 2/3rds of the piece yet, there is still plenty of quiet places for your eye to rest. The quilting in the background adds a lot of movement! Good job!
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanne - Your cropping really helps the viewer focus in on the important branch and leaves - what an amazing improvement! Thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteThe cropping worked great! I do like the down to earth interpretation. The background choice is interesting.
ReplyDeleteNice work with a definite fall feel to it. I like that you engaged the edges of the piece for interest.
ReplyDeleteWow, the cropping really draws the focus of the piece to the details. I love the moon, its color and the great quilting. Strong design...
