Thanks everyone for such nice feedback! I'm often too embarrassed to post these in full. Hope this helps in some way.

I transferred the prelim to a larger, wider format. I raised the owl above her head to give that area space. The ground is extended, the tree root sweeps into the picture from the left up to her foot. If the vine is the baseline, the owls are the rhythmic beats on top. The owls wrap around her foot in a circular fashion to echo the circular elements such as their faces and the Nest.

I also emphasised a triangular structure. A main diagonal leads up from bottom left owls up to her head. The one on the right starts from the bottom right owl, up the vines with leaves arranged like a spinal column through the nest and up to the main top owl. I'm trying to echo the triangular shape in the body which is made by the resting leg, stretched arm and back.

There's a smaller triangle involving the vines on the stone pillar, the owl standing on top (in front of her knee) and the owls below. It's embedded inside to echo the main pyramid with the main owl above the nest.

I'm trying to make the picture rhythmic and interesting and learning about all this as I go.

Thanks for reading!
