order with a bit of chaos

this composition started with the semicircular chain of yellowing hosta leaves. that took about 35 seconds. then i took about an hour or so of arranging, then disarranging, then adding elements, then removing elements, then disarranging some more, then arranging just a little bit,  to make the “random”  elements of this image look both random enough to feel random, and distributed interestingly enough to be worthy of your attention, dear STILL blog visitor. i work hard to earn your morning visits. don’t think otherwise.
