Well first of all I always LOVE when we have men in the room. I love seeing their perspectives. I often learn. I went around your gallery a bit too. I like a bunch of it-esp the butterfly with the small squares...it is a great tile look
I agree-those are the whispiest clouds I have seen! And the mountains are cool. They have a sense of the actual surface of a mountain.
I wish I understood your breakdown of it. Is this digital? I dont do it so I would not recognize the terms.
