Melissa, this is such stunning portrait work! The idea and strength of your composition is wonderful to view! The lovely summer colors dance across the image!
If I might suggest (this isn't easy to critique a master like yourself) maybe clone out the part of the tree trunk that is sticking out on the side. If it were connected to the rest of the trunk in the composition it would work but as is I find my vision being pulled to the chunck of tree, just a thought from an admirer! #8818422

I think that is a great idea Joannie. Thank you so much for your input...I was kind of wondering that myself, but just wasn't sure :) Again, thank you so much! #8818607
