Completing a Composition involves more than just changing modes to alter it from a previous state. Breaking up the major configuration of the elements into three to five parts, (in this case, two unequal parts) is often effective. Shifting the angle to a diagonal tends to suggest a more dynamic landscape, figurative interaction or architecture.
In the future I will go into more complicated aspects of composition.
But next time, I will post the last part of this series of experiments, #7 noting some of the observations I have made about working with Layers and Modes.
