Experimentation

I arranged the leaves into colours: leaves with hues of red, hues of greens, neutral, smears of black (from campfires?) and vibrant colours. 

I decide to arrange them into a swirling clock-wise wind pattern, in which the colours started off neutral, black, green and then red. I liked the solid form created but I was unsure about the white space.

I tried introducing in a leaves attached to thin branches to fill the white space but I think introducing  leaves that aren't following the clock-wise pattern affects the balance of the piece negatively. 

After analysing the piece, I decided that it didn't excite me, it looked harmonious and nice but it didn't have the quality that instantly caught my attention.
