Something of a Maze
All the oranges
Using a pair of tweezers, I carefully applied individual leaves to select branches of the trees. I felt that this was a necessary step to tie the orange leaf litter to the actual trees.
After that, I positioned the bushes to see how everything looked.
Now, I love the burnt orange look, which I feel makes a nice change to the more usual green trees; however, I am a little concerned that there is too much orange towards the bottom of the scene and that the top of the scene looks a little sparse.
So, I decided to move the bushes up to become a representation of a tree canopy, and I will do some more brown and green bushes to put down at the bottom to see how I feel about that.
I am always open to thoughts and suggestions, so any feedback on which way to go would be very much appreciated.
Anyway, here are some pictures with the bushes moved up into the trees.
What do you think?














































If you think there’s too much contrast between the green and orange try introducing some brown. Orange/green share the yellow spectrum and contrast with red/blue to give such a stark divide of visual attention. Perhaps a purple-y brown (a highly specialized professional term 😆) could act as a middle ground. Purple to contrast yellow and brown being a neutral gray to the red/green.
Great suggestions. I can definitely see some browns coming into this. I may have a play with some purple-y brown too.
