Bruce, I like the overall image especially the colors, but agree it could be cropped some. Initially I thought just a small amount for the distracting out of focus elements on the left and right. And as someone else hinted a vertical orientation, I thought I'd try my take. Tried to remove some of the distracting branch which could be done sucsessfully if one were to spend more time. That is unless you are opposed to some degree of "cheating". I think as artists we should be allowed that liberty to remove distracting element through digital manipulation. After all isn't it basically the same as cropping?
