See what you think:
On these three I just took out the 2 bushes one at a time, and then the "naked" view with all the bushes of the foreground out. It is not so big a deal, except for the impact on one's thoughts as each is taken out. I really realized how important the bushes were. Photoshop as a composition tool is really great! I find myself using it more and more. In pastel, we have the option of being able to brush out an element and then make a change. In my watercolor painting that just can't happen as easily. Thus being able to quickly try out things is helpful there. I guess that is one reason I love pastel so much, it is so forgiving as well as being so direct: hand to pastel to paper.
Again (below), I'm just taking out the bushes one at a time to experience the impact each makes. Then the ones on road three.

Very interesting, Elsie! It really does open things up, doesn't it?
I appreciate everyone becoming involved here... Keep up the good work!

I am delighted that my "thinking with PhotoShop" is interesting and possibly helpful to others.
This whole Road Trip Challenge has been a powerful visual and compositional experience.
Thanks to Deborah and to the others who have commented and experimented, too.
