Thank you so much. And, darn, I did a bit more today. Would really appreciate your thoughts. I could always try ctrl/z.Robert saw the whale and then it swam on by. I wouldn't call this a WIP, I think I would leave it as is. It is quite complete here. I like it, and that is saying something, as I am not a fan of abstract so much.

Thanks. In case you didn't see me, I am the tree trunk/branches, tad agedVery original and interesting! I like what's going on. However, I do see something that resembles a rock that looks a little like a whale. But I wouldn't have seen it without the title. Lots of beauty here. Very nice!
the rocks can be seen through me. Sort of.

STOP!
Stop- it's there; it's done.
The strongest version was the first one, but then you took the value structure away and it looked weird.
Now you have corrected the too-high chroma and value of the squiggly stuff top right, and allowed the bones to come back in.
Leave this one- it's good.
If you have to see what else it can be, do another so you don't do this one to death.

An interesting piece - I did like the original one, but this one seems to showcase the whale, or the shapes that are making it, much better.
I agree with the suggestion to let it stand - if you still have something in mind you might be better served starting fresh. This one's good!

I think all the stages are marvellous. I usually like earlier versions better, but in this case I find that the last one you posted is very appealing.

Thankyou. I had decided I was trying to make it something, rather than listening to it.
