Just moved and this guy decided to check out the cherry tree in the back yard. Light was a little harsh.

Thanks for looking, comments and critiques appreciated.

Nice opportunity Todd. To bad about the harsh light:(. Keep your eye on that tree, when the cherries start to rippen you will probably get some action. Just lay for them in the early morning:)

I like the comp and pose. Harsh light and angle of light is making it hard - bright reflections off the leaves are distraction so may be worth trying to darken them down a little. Here's a quick and dirty dodged and burn version by way of illustration.

Super enviromental image Todd, and I like the colours in this. This is nice and sharp too. Tony's rework on the leaves works well.
