I find the comment about the dead tree interesting, and know there are many who feel that death in nature should be avoided in favor of the lushness of the peak of life. I fall into the keep-the-cycle-of-life camp, especially where this is just a detail.
I hope this comment spurs some discussion on that topic.
Well done, Roman!
