Interesting look. I really like it, but the blown out highlights are a distraction.

Thanks Rich, I deliberately blew out the highlights to get that look of a tree being lit up by lightning. Maybe I should add some lightning, do you think that would help?

Oh, I get it now - like a horror movie. Cool. I don't think there's room to put any lightning in, maybe cheat and just title the image "lightning strikes" or something...?

The free space where i could put lightning is the wrong side of the tree I might try to 'fit' some in at the left side, if not then rename it to something obvious like 'tree in lightning storm'
