Craig, I really like the tree; I suspect it would hold its own very well without the composite. My 2-cents.

Craig, I agree with Carol that the tree really holds its own here. I hadn't noticed the rose until I read your description. It show much better in the larger version. I do love that tree.

Hey Craig,
I think the BG testure is both unusual and adds a great element to a fantastic tree. This is fantastic!

Thanks to all for the feedback so far.
Carol, Mark, the problem for me in the original image, was that the tree wasn't holding its own against a sky criss-crossed with vapor trails from jets taking off and landing at Bob Hope Airport, as well as brushy hillsides slanting into the lower corners from the fisheye effect. I could have used a more natural background such as a cloud-filled or stormy sky (and may yet do that) but I've been intrigued by some unusual composites I've enjoyed in this gallery in the past, and so decided to play a little.

Really lovely - you started with a wonderful tree, then added excellent processing.
congrats on the WP!
