What are your two similar, widely separated objects united by a line? The two dragonflies are similar. And the tulips are similar. Neither has much in common with the turtle except placement in the garden. Line of sight connects the turtle to the dragonfly on the right with an implied line, but there is so much more going on visually that the connection doesn't unify the many subjects each calling for attention. Red calls the strongest.

Moving in to focus on just the turtle looking at the dragonfly would have worked.

PS. You say this is shade but there are strong shadows. Looks like sunlight to me.
