I don't original title for this, Poison Oak Bouquet, will make any sales. I was attracted to the red leaves and the green twisted branches.

I would go with poison oaks bouquet. The bottom orange tones compliments the trace of orange in the top. That detail on the lichen covered branches isn't seen here but I know the print will more than do that justice.
A very colorful scene, Dan. Some excellent detail throughout the scene too. I would run with the Poison Oak Bouquet name also.

I'm not sure what I would title this, but I like the way the reds and greens blend amongst each other. As Steve said, I can only imagine how much more detail those lichen covered lowered branches would have in a large print. Well seen and captured.

I think Poison Oak would be perfect for a title because no one expects it to look pretty. I think perhaps a horizontal would give a tighter emphasis on the colorful parts of teh scene

Dan,
I can see the hesitation in the title - at least from a "fine art" point of view; but I think it works perfect <here> :-)
I really like the color palette with the light and dark greens and of course the red. It's interesting, at least to me, that the light green lichen/moss covered branches stand out well and the red poison oak is more of a supporting color. I think Richard is on to something with a horizontal crop, but I really like this as captured. Concise and a very pretty display of coastal colors.
