High Key bl and wh

I chose to use more rock rather than the willows and addes some canvas

Nice try Barbara. I like the landing bird in the upper right but find the chimney too over powering. I think if you could find a way to make that "base" less obvious, maybe crop some off the bottom and significantly reduce it's contrast and dark tones making it just barely recognizable might help. Most high key I've seen has a subdued main subject with just a hint of environment to add a sense of place. I wonder if adding some empty canvas between the upper bird and the nest might also help. Try sepia B&W too? My mind is working overtime.... sorry!

Great attempt Barbara, Lisa would be proud! The color palette is very nice. It's neutral colors would work in any environment. I thought I have that would help adhere to the high key look and give it an isolated feel would be to clone out the far lower right twigs and add more canvas to the right side giving the bear and viewer more space to roam. Maybe even select the lower right items and transplant them to the right side of some newly added canvas. What do you think?

Love tis idea, well done.
