Scenes with contrasting organic and geometric shapes are certainly fun to explore. This building, since demolished, provided a good backdrop for the leaves. An additional element, the shadows, provides a third layer. Colors are a bit muted in this treatment, but I think it's fitting. Inside the windows we find some blue for additional contrast with the warm tones. Generally speaking, I like the arrangement of shapes within the frame, except for the shadow in the middle right that cuts across the window. And the lonely branch on the bottom left. Now that I mention it, that bottom left originally had a dark shadow crossing it. Jay Maisel, of the "Light, Color, Gesture" school, teaches that those corner issues are weaknesses, so I selective lightened it. Even so, that corner isn't quite finished, but I'll come back to it, and probably get rid of the thin branch while I'm at it.
