This one isn’t balanced but it’s how I saw the composition. I don’t think the lack of balance bothers me but I don’t know how others will react. All comments are welcome.

Great Tone and Lines. I think it is cool as it is.. Your Vision. maybe a slight vignette.
So the acid test of an image to me is whether I spend any time looking at it and this one passed that test quite well, Don. I spent some time trying to figure out why, so I could pass it back to you, and I think it’s the conformation of the branches. I’ve attached marked up copy showing the way my eye moves through the image to illustrate that. After doing that little exercise, I think you could trim enough off the right side to eliminate most or all of the grayer area in the upper right corner since my eye doesn’t wander there anyhow.
Gill, Dennis, thanks. Dennis, I appreciate your going to that effort and your comments are helpful.
