Tom, Thanks for the clarification of leaf and stream conditions. I understand, exactly, your reason for choosing a balanced leaf distribution for this pic. Sometimes we grab what is given us and decide later if we're happy with it. This image will offend no one and, in fact, as mentioned earlier, has a pleasing feeling about it. My comments were based on what I felt would have improved it. Perhaps it's pointless musing, but it was my answer to your question.
