Thanks all for the responses and kind words
Hi Costas with regard the plant color content and toneing,i was intending to do something portraying the end of winter that is still in my mind.
I purchased the plant cover and and other items yesterdad and really was only playing with them moving them about untill i find the corrrct balance and i agreee as you have said and as Bill Horan has indicated not to over power the subject the red foliage has been removed at present there will be tussock grass which will look very effective but to get it right is very time consuming i will no doubt change it around a hell of a lot before i get it right.
In the 2nd photo the blend semms to be coming together strange but the photo is from the very area where these guys would have lived and that is a fine interpretation of the area.
I tend to jump around regard subject matter and that why i picked this one it made me start looking at colors
away from my normal field gray olive drab and to be honest it has been a breath of fresh air.
Cheers chris
