I am bothered by the vertical line in the center at the bottom. My eye goes directly there and doesn't stop to enjoy all the beautiful color present. Looks like its done by a "lefty" with everything leaning left. When I cover that light vertical line with my finger, the whole piece comes together beautifully. The squiggly line or branch on the bottom of the tree on the right might be darkened a bit too so it won't pull the eye to the bottom. Brian
i agree about the vertial line. i like the feel of this one. i tried a similar scene once and found it very difficult. i would consider darkening darks in the upper left. as it is, the deapth seems lost there.
