Snag or Full tree

Sometimes in creating pieces I come to a cross roads.  If someone is around or handy on the phone or even on Facebook I look for some input.  This week has found me with 2 such issues on 2 pieces. 


This piece is still in fluffy mode, one good puff and its all gone.  If my 2 cats were still at the house and had not found some where else to live this would have been a cat bed.  Instead it has sat on the basement table for 24hrs, and will probably be there until tomorrow night.  I cannot decide whether to make the far tree on the left a snag or to pine it up.  The problem is if I 'pine it up' and then decide it would have been better a snag, pulling the green up will hurt the background..cause it's "SO FLUFFY".
     
But I must admire them, they really do look like pine trees, and on my first go...GO ME!  And it does kinda look mountainous in the back there...GO ME!  I am kinda impressed with me, and I hope my little fan club of one (me) does not put you off.  I have had many blunders as I learn how to paint with fiber.  They just get turned into purses or clutches so they are no longer in evidence. Cause I am sneaky that way..soooo sneaky...

The other piece is a question as to "eye or not to eye, that is the question".  There is something missing..can't decide if its an eye or simply need more detail in the background..maybe some indication of scales..mmmm.....

And of course gremlins have stolen my phone.  And so the photo of the eyeless fish, who may or may not need eyes will have to wait.

Finally decided to put an eye on it..looks soooo much better.  And the day I did that, it found its home.  There is a satisfaction level of finding that piece missing and knowing that it completed the whole.
