I like the thought process going on here Michelle. This shows creativity and your knack for seeking the unusual shot. It's problem is a common one that I run into a lot myself -- it is visually too busy. There needs to be a simpler design here. This would be where you would really benefit from shooting with me sometime. We'd use a couple of tripods and I'd let you make your composition then show you mine. Then you revise. Do you use a tripod ever? It would benefit you a lot in terms of making you deliberate more on the composition of the shots.
