"I hope *this* one doesn't wander off when uploaded to Caedes, like Dappled Hill did. :-) Though it took so long loading I have a worry..."

All good good here. No worries.

Well-composed.

And a very nice painterly effect.

For me, it's the colour palette.. and that of left tree and it introducing some other colour that makes this image. Adding in, the brightness/mood.

Nice work.

And..

But, of course.. thanks for sharing your creativity with us. Even if we some times have to chase them down and corral them back to your galleries.

The slight bit of filtering effect you used really makes this a pleasant artistic looking image. I agree with Les about the color palette, this is really nice. tigs=^..^=
