Remarks: Variation is a wonderful thing when repetition is the theme. Here it just
flows conically in- or declining, through the frame. What's striking is that the pattern is forever changing while maintaining a constant of shape and line (I suspect the foreground green outlines a curve too large to be contained by the margins).
The diagonal perspective is dynamically placed, too, against a measured rhythm of rush and recess. The (apparent} bouquet suggests a similar progression, sans the plastic relief of the fore- and middle grounds.
I converted the image to black and white (gradient map) to see if the colours provided a critical element. My impression was that it held its own, albeit intrinsically like cello in a jazz quartett. It did, however, loose the contemporary sense of the colour version.
