I like it. Quite a bit. For me, though, it is a tad toooo high key and I would bring it down a bit. Too much detail is being lost, a little more detail would be good.
(I took a second look to be clearer.) I think the branches of the tree are merging with the background a little too much. I think, if it was me, knowing how I fool with things, I might actually go in and add some thin black lines on some of the branches to separate them from the background. Or I'd try it a tad lower high key. HTH, Marnie aka Doe :-) ================ I took this shot right at the edge of the continent looking out into the Pacific ocean. I was trying to convey the emptiness that I saw from this withered old tree and the big ocean beyond. As I was playing around, I created this and rather liked it. So before showing the original photo, I thought I would see what you thought of this. Rather arty - big departure for me.
