		Maybe you can bunch them together a little more and add a green background to take a look at it?  Or at least some portions.  I don't know whether or not it would work but it's at least a thought.

		Better. But can you extend the area of shading beneath the wheat so that the "pockets" of them merge together? 
 
With regards to Zen's suggestion, it might look better if you shrank the size of the wheat icons and, as Zen said, bunch more of them together. I think my biggest gripe is that the wheat icons are slightly largish.

		Also Targa, if it's too much work don't worry about it       It was just an idea to create the image of 'fertility'.

		Just out of curiosity, does this "texturized" Version appeal to anyone?  Or would you rather have the original "flat cloth" look?

 Ignore Zen. Work, darn you, work! (sound of cracking whip) Slacker! What's taking you so long? People working for free just isn't what it used to be ...

		I like that. Looks good. Not bare dirt but subtle plant work. Keep in mind that the castle, temples, flags will all appear on top of these. What you are working on is beautiful but while the game is in play they are basically background.
