Alright. A slightly over-worked and fussy image resulting from slightly obsessive tendencies.  Not that I think its a totally unsuccessful image, though. I just found that the lines of movement and compositional focus  seem  to be incredibly difficult to keep track of when thinking of form , tone and colour.  To somehow  juggle these things and play them off each other seems to be the key, as incredibly difficult as that seems to me. Even in an image as fundamentally simple as this, with its muted palette and straight-on composition.

Cl-ick for progress animation.
