Editing for Composition

Here's a collage painting that I made that has a lot going on. Too much perhaps. But if I cropped it, I might see a stronger design, and learn something for future work.
Luckily the free photo program I use, Picasa3 has cropping and framing capabilities, so I can play around and see what it would look like in different sections, or different orientations.
 1.  2.

 3.

 4. 5.

Here is the same painting turned horizontally.
And cropped to look completely different.

6. 7. 8.
 9.
I can see many possibilities for future layouts, even quilts!

  2. Now there's something about abstracts: you can really play with them! I guess it's not over when it's painted.
