Acrylic, 12x12 canvas
I used variation in line and focal point in my composition.
My inspiration came from my porch flooring, I wanted to reproduce the wood grain. I really enjoy macro photography, so I decided to go in close and take advantage of larger brush strokes on my smallish canvas.
**pushing feedback welcome**
In this photo I used the compositional techniques of leading lines, point of view, and rule of thirds. In Lightroom I increased the warmth of the photo to create a sunny feeling and look.

Thanks to the tech who let me take this.
Asymmetric balanced composition. I see a sort of near-vertical line between the devil and the upside-down man, the tree/antler the devil is on follows that same line.
--irregular rhythm, the antlers coming sideways(!) from the sideways heads of deer. The deer on the lower part of the page are closer together,
--The heads of the deer are a graduated rhythm, I think the density of the deer heads at the bottom might be in balance with the devil's arm.
There are Antlers rising from bottom of page too (deer beyond frame?)
Man caught in tangle, upside down. He looks as if he is falling, he looks also as if he is still, caught in the bramble of antlers. There's a sort of which-way-is-up idea, the man or the devil or the animals?
All those antlers are a lot of line directions using all the space. It reminds me of lace because it's complicated. Despite the feeling of upside-down caught in it, there's a lot of resting space, and almost a stillness as if resting, a still frame from the struggle, it has a peacefulness to me. I believe this cover is an example of harmony.
I wonder at the choice of a font that almost disappears, despite the use of color to pick it out from the picture. I would have chosen something heavier.
Thinking about the spacing and orientation of objects on a canvas ...
