Why thanks, Traveller. I will play with this when I get home tonight but it'll be too late to repost it. Just scrolling up and down I can see what you mean, though, and think I will like your ideas. I welcome any future suggestions, too.

A painting teacher of mine talked about "crossfertilization of ideas" overlaying and spread through the image. I love this example of that esthetic. It's al most easier to talk in musical terms, it's like a symphony with theme and variations. The green poles state a theme, assertively and forming a dominating pattern. The shadows provide a countertheme, angled and strong. The red ladder is a subtheme imitating a combination of pole theme and shadow theme in a scintillating red counterpoint. This is growing and growing on me. -tv
