Finished?

I think my latest collage is finished. 

I added the layer of matte gel mdium and Robert Frost's Tree at My Window from a vintage book or poetry  and a photo of a tree by my friend Richart Gant.  I then accented the edges of the ephemera and added even heavier "sponge stroke" foliage.  I wish it was easier to get good photos of mixed media. Sometimes it seems that when you try to alter the image with a photo editing software, you either get the colors too bright or too muted.  In the case, the collage colors are somewhat muted in the photo.  I guess a new camera is in my future...
