'In all honesty, i looked and looked, but i couldnt tell the difference between matts 1st virtual and the actual tree, not a reflection on matts virtual, just a reflection on my eyes me thinks.'
Rowan,
with due respect, you will have to train your eyes a lot more. The first virtual of Matt makes all the difference in the world versus the originally posted tree. The slight tilt to the right is making this tree come alive and getting balanced for me. I cannot believe that one does not imemdiately see this. The second virtual is even more dramatic. But then the foliage needs to be rearranged. The lower branch in particular has to come down a lot. I would absolutely tilt the tree slightly to the right or a bit more.
