LJ and NJ

IN the past day i received a suggestion to give up on the notion of having the grasses on the left mid-painting be in different horizontal positions (as that was clearly not working) and just have them stand up vertically. I tried this and things seemed to improve. Then the only other thing i did was to apply several different values of green to try to simulate some perspective for those grasses. Finally, on another topic, i lightened up the sky, adding more color to match some of the reflections in the water.
