Honeybee Part 3

After analyzing my last composition, I decided that it was too static, boring! My left brain was giving me too much help. It was too literal of a description of a tulip. It screamed TULIP. I can tell this is a tulip. No need to describe the whole shape.

Good composition keeps the viewer out of the corners. In the last composition they were too attractive. Also, good composition provides an exit for the viewer. I've provided 2 exits: the V shapes in the top and on the right side. This is not a good strategy.

When I look at this composition from across the room I can see that my values are weak. I also see the opportunity to add another wing shape. I'll lighten the edge of the lower petal on the right.
