John and Arlen, outstanding work, gentlemen!
John, that last one is just utterly impressionistic in both look and character. Great flow and texture. Please tell me it is icm, and not some dope postfilter ai thingy accidentally doing the right thing. Oddly enough, I have an urge to flip the image horizontally. Not sure why that "feels" more appropriate? Must be a left-to-right reader problem perhaps, you know, the unfolding of hope and opportunity associated with spring requiring a "leaning into" the image, in the same way that cursive text "leans forward".
