Palm Tree Final Development

I don't think that this image is far from being finished. I have added text, which is rub-on letters that have been scanned in. It is the title of the article and the type is quite small but I don't think that it needs to be big as it would overpower the image. I am still unsure about the unusual shape but when it will appear next to the article text, the text could be manipulated around the shape so that there is not an unusual amount of white space. I think something more can be done to the arrow leaf so that it stands out more. I'm not sure if I need the paint drops behind the image but I felt I needed a background of some kind.
