50 pinecones

so, this is kind of funny, but i just went to count the rows and column of this image, which by the way i have looked at for over an hour while i photographed and edited it, and just NOW noticed that my top two rows have 9 pinecones and my bottom four rows have 8. what? i was making a grid. i don’t not intend to do that. my first instinct was to re-make the assemblage and reshoot it. but then, i though, if i couldn’t even tell, does it even matter? clearly, in the grand scheme of life it matters not at all. but, for this particular artistic expression…does it matter? for me, the answer is no. the image feels balanced to me. and that is enough.
