Great mood and really nice comp. I might dodge the lower branches a touch so they don't bring the eye into the lower left corner so much. The bw works well also.
welcome to BPN, marc. nice first post!! agree with paul about dodging the lower stuff. my eye is immediately drawn to the darker area of the big tree. will help smooth that out a bit.
Hi Marc...agree with Paul and Harold. The big tree appears to be your center of interest and the lower left bush is competing with it due to it's darker color. If that was lightened(as stated) the large tree would be dominant while the rest would have that misty, foggy quality....
