The "NEW" (and improved?????) Kayak on the Lake (I'm not being nuts--just accurate!)

This is the color idea from the pattern (sort of)

But, I went kayaking again this morning and there are way way way more darks than lights out there--the lights are from shallow water and sun streaking through all the way to the bottom... and it's mostly greens! And that's when one happens to be looking down. If the gaze is across the top--it's dark and more uniform.
so...based on my research, I made a change....

One more comparison before you tell me you love it! (You do love it, right?) I think the original flows into the circular effect better because our eyes are drawn to the diamond shapes created form the triangles and in the new one a star pops out--but the new idea is more...well, lake like. :roll:

It's looking good, but I am willing to bet that every time you look at that lake, it will be a different set of colours, because of the reflections from the sky, and how the weather changes, so don't discard those blocks that are slightly more green yet, you might still want to use them later.

Oh I didn't discard them--I changed the corner triangles. :wink:
Oh, the lake is always different--that's true--but it's always darker than the lights in the first try.
I think I'll still make one the other way, too....wouldn't want all those cute little 45 degree triangles going to waste! :shock:
