I love the color combo of Jade and black...and I don't know what you were trying to do in Photoshop. To some people, the white "glow" around some of the branches would be distracting, to others, intriguing. It feels like the tree was in motion, blowing in the wind? Have you tried the Sharpen filter on it?
Olympus SP-350, Canon AE-1 35mm SLR, Canon FD lenses (50mm and 135mm), Tiffen uv and close-up filters, Promaster flash, and two tripods.
