composition & color palette thumbs
1. took original thumb, and modified a few spots to fix aspect ratio
2. added more details to the actual water slide, including background
3. color balanced
4. increased contrast of ants in FG & MG areas
5. client still felt like ants didn't read well against rocks, so I added bounce light on rocks, from water, cleaned up rock face shapes, and other small details.
6. Client still didn't feel like previous revision helped the ants read well, so I added atmospheric elements in midground near the waterfall edge, and increased splash width behind the foreground ant
7. client still felt like rocks were too red, so toned down the fg ones
