60 seconds and f/90! Holy cow. Very sweet, Michael! If it were mine, I might mask the trees and pull out some of the red and get the red/white thing popping, but it looks really nice as presented too. Quite nicely done.

I like the subtle glow off the birches and the interesting color palette.

I like the graphic nature of the boles, though this seems a bit underexposed on my monitor. The mix of red, yellows and greens is real nice.

looks fine to me. the black frame doesn't work here, imo, make it look darker than it is.
also there is a color cast (yellow) due to quick scanning probably (?) or due to the long exposure time but easy fix, of course.

I really like it, Micheal. Lots to explore here. No nits from me. All the layers and contrasts are nicely composed.

Beautiful image Michael. Really enjoy the lighting on the birches, the lovely lines and arrangement of the birches in the image, and the wonderful color. One minute exposure and everything remained still; you had to be holding your breath. Superb work.
