continued work on "u.s. open 3" / by Philip Tarlow

3:50 PM: i got somewhat of a late start today because we took our trail walk a tad late. in studying u.s.open 2 & 3, i determined that, of the two, u.s. open 3 was the one that most needed more work. i did quite a bit, as you’ll see from the before & after shots BELOW.

i way prefer today’s version. first of all, the triangle in the upper left, was coming from my head & was not an essential or even relevant part of the composition. the bir’d head was squinched and the green surrounding it was distracting. the tennis player’s shadow didn’t read as a shadow, whereas now it does. lets see how i feel about it in the morning.
