past actions: successful failure

This one is a successful failure. I like a number of things about it, but I'd hate to incorporate it into an actual sweater. I like the colour flow of both the foreground and the background. I like the browns and the reds and how they set off the straw colours in the middle. I like the way the middle appears to be luminous because it flows from dark to light.

I don't like the way the pattern is completely muddy at the edge. There was a lot of action in the pattern out there at the peripheries, and you wouldn't know it at all looking at this picture. I don't like the way the straw colour takes over. I like the browns and reds better than the straw colour & I'd like them to be a little better shown than they are with that scene-stealer.
