nice topic....

Happy New year, Al

The hollow is supposed to be the focal point in the illustration. That is, as you said, the obvious.
Just curious though, just exactly what makes that lower left branch such a bad thing.
Why should it be changed. There must be a reason that the design is, as you put it, bad. What design element did it violate.
