Beautiful, Derek!

Derek,
This one also works great as a pano. Initially I was thinking about not having the trunk on the left, but it does help define the edge where the sun beams are streaming in. ONly other suggestion is to clone out the small pair of twigs coming down from the top, but that's minor. This is very cool.

Thanks Lon,
I have others which are more of the traditional pano. So I will most likely post one of those as well. But I liked how this one caught the primary elements of the image in more of a close up view.

Here is the updated version based on your recommendation. I think the clone out of the upper branch improves the overall atmosphere:
