Thanks Melethia....this does indeed look better, though I darkened the corner a bit much, but I did not have time to redo it. I was trying to bring the eye to the bottom and ground it more by darkening it...just went overboard, I guess.
The other was nice, but I do like this version much better! As for the darkened corner being overdone, I'm not so sure I would have noticed it if you hadn't mentioned it, because my attention goes to the pretty golden leaf standing up...
