Thanks Andy. I'll play with the crop and see what happens. Appreciate your comment, cheers.

I like skinny crops if the enhance the subject and reduce unwanted distractions. I think you could take your crop further and get rid of the outer grey border. I know it is a wall but it dose not fram the top and is uneven at the bottom. I think your image would be strong enough and still be well framed within the two vertical walls. The golden light is a great backing to the darker wood.

Like how the lighting has the tree brighter on top with a slow fade ending at a perfectly centered shadow. -COAmature

That's true, Rod, and just cropped a tiny bit from the sides to make uniform. Thanks for the comment mate.

It's a skinny crop but unlike Paul I think you took this shot to be skinny:-) So well done mate it looks very nice

Hi sueanne. This is actually on the wall when going up/down the stairs in my new house. And yes, it's made of wood.

Interesting, is this made of wood in an exhibit? :)

Very nice Aam :-) The warm color tones look very pleasing here.
