Thought you'd been to the hairdresser's when I saw the title of this! Nice verticals, and I love silver birches - think we have a similar taste in trees Bonnie! The window is fun - like curtains! Or nets...makes me want to 'twitch' them.
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

A nice attempt, however, the framing kinda takes over with the light on light thang going. Perhaps a wee darker framing to accentuate the tree?? Would make a nice desktop wallpaper with a darker border me thinks.
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
The sun on a silver birch... lovely and lovely presentation... I think I'm with Mr. Hottrockin though... a darker frame might bring out that golden sunshine more... although it does rather look like window curtains this way.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
- Hermes
There is right now this contrast with these Birches and you have done terrific job in capturing this and spotlighting it with this framing Bonnie...very nicely done...gerry

Nice shot, but I kind of don't like the pale green framing, I think it detracts from the gold of the tree instead of enhancing it as it should.I think a very thin black line around it along with maybe a pale gold would have made it even more elegant. But I still like the tree...heheh..verena
