Falling Leaves

 Here is the final version:

Falling Leaves

Version notes:

OK, I changed my mind about filling the moon spaces. A couple of dry runs on scrap paper convinced me I couldn't consistently produce the effect I wanted. So, one of the benefits of keeping my images close to me is I can wander among them looking for solutions to issues I find in new images.

I came across the "better idea" in this image from the past called "Muse."

Muse

You can see the pattern up there in her hair and below her chin.

In case you are curious, I realized that the corners of Falling Leaves use a pattern remarkably similar to the hair in this image I believe I called "Angry Dude."

Naming the images is sometimes easy, other time a challenge. Not nearly as hard as naming a child, but up there with naming a parakeet or goldfish.
