I really like the black and white used with this perspective. Excellent shot!

It is a lovely photo with great composition, lots of flowing lines and nice lighting. However it could be even better if you were to increase the contrast levels. And there are some areas that are over exposed that you could select individually and decrease the light assuming you have an editing program with these features. PhotoShop Elements is one program that would work. Just my humble opinion of course. You don't have to agree.

To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower..............
William Blake
I, too, like the use of black and white here... and I like the feeling of going away and away and awaaaaay. It is not at all hard to realize that this is one tall tree! I wonder what a line draw filter would do on this one... just curiosity.

"The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne,
Thassay so hard, so sharp the conquering..."
Chaucer
Why doesn't this have more comments? It's AWESOME! You couldn't drag me under an evergreen (I'm allergic as heck) I do know how hard it is to get under one of those. I love your choice of B&W here and even the distance limbs are sharp. This is a great desktop and I'm giving it the ultimate compliment. Adding it to my favs. :-)

For in and out, above, about, below,
'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show,
Play'd in a Box whose Candle is the Sun,
Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.
From Edward Fitzgerald's Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
I like the idea on this image. The branches make an interesting pattern and the texture of the bark works well. I think it is a little over exposed in the areas of sky which gives more detail on the shadows but perhaps this was a little overdone. A touch more mid tone contrast would add a little something too. Experiment using some of the software Gabi suggested, or something similar. The frame is quite unnecessary and does not add to the already good image. They are one of my pet hates I am afraid. If the picture works, which this one does, let it stand on its own merits. It does not need the frame.

if you come my heart happy flowery....
Love the composition and tones to the piece. could live without the altered edge, it's a bit of a distraction (sorry). Perhaps as an alternative, I'd suggest a (very) thin black border, or none at all.
Regardless, the initial shot's a winner.

I'm a huge fan of tree photography.. As weird as that may seem.. This is a really good perspective. I have a similar shot that I've taken but the tree isn't as cool as the one in yours, and I don't have any photography uploaded here.. Only my digital creations. Good photo, John.
