Palm Fronds in the Jungle

So I experiment and try different things to see what might work or if this technique is something useful.  This was interesting and probably not a complete success but it is different.   I know how I will do it differently when I use this technique in one of the paintings from my experiences in Panama and Belize,  The biggest thing will be to not isolate the palm fronds against a dark monotone background.  The point of the experiment was to focus on the fronds and the sun shining through the canopy of leaves.  It needs background to base it some reality.
