I would like to follow the title of this image Looking Outside The Square and venture into some more abstract work, but realize I have a lot to learn.
This is not a complaint about the ci score - I was very happy with the comments I received.
I would really like to know the main failings of this - other than its incomprehensibleness (is that a word ?)
I did spend considerable time on it - and would rather put it to better use if I can.

LynEve - I will take a stab at this if no one want to answer. Yes! incomprehensibleness is a word because, I cant spell it, and I understood its meaning right away. I looked at your picture and if you dont mind my bluntness,. . . I gotta say I was awe-struck by the lack of living color, for a lady who excels in enriching her compositions with the colors of nature, it was surely absent here. Your mood must of been in the dumper when you did this picture. The main failing to me was the dull colors. I just didnt have that feel good feeling when I viewed it. I hope you will not send your dog to bite me after my comments. I think you are trying and thats what counts. Oh! Rats! now my dog is after me. . .bye!

Well I dont have a dog and even if I did I would not send it after you!
Many thanks for helping me out on this here and expanding on it by pm. I truly appreciate it.

(my husband sometimes tells me I am very trying too lol)
