zen

Great job! This is a beautiful tree that will only get better.
That said the only problem I see is that the deawood as it is (with the downward pointing bit, and the almost horizontal bit) looks to me as if it represents an explosion frozen in time. Try tossing a towel over those two pieces and see what you think.
P.S. if it's not too much trouble get a shot with those covered and post it. Thanks.
