very nice trees. One thing I noticed from these posts, and it is not particular to these trees - for some reason, having the back view right beside the tree detracts from the presentation, although I don't exactly know why.

If next time, for example, you were to post 6 front views and then 6 back views I betcha it would look a whole lot better. I think for some reason with the "mirror image" next to it the trees look less designed - less unique because of the mirror symmetry.

I have seen this in the Gallery, too. I find it is a "clinical" and not "artistic" presentation.

I don't know why this is. Is it just me? Opinions?

Regards,

Matt
