Excellent!! Love the earth tone colors, sweeping lines of the trunk and the comp works beautifully. Wonderful intimate image. This definitely needs to be viewed large.

I love it, Jim! The swirls, textures & colors of the wood are fascinating and the contrast with the leaves works very nicely. The composition is nicely balanced also. Exposure is perfect and the details are awesome. Very nicely seen and shot!

That's just a wonderful comp right there Jim. That swirling wood really catches the eye, and the maple leaves and pine needles are a perfect counterpoint. Wonderful textures in this. Great work!
