Nature's Embrace

Well seen and beautifully rendered. Some people call this controlled chaos. This is one of the most powerful ways to show nature. The branches are tangled but there is clear structure in the order of flow of the branches. The cutoff at the bottom of the frame is just right. The top of the frame could be cropped off a bit and actually cut into the branch tops. The thin white branch at the bottom may be considered a distraction and could be darkened in. Although you could argue that it’s a welcome distraction to an area that is mostly dark. Well done.

This is similar to an image I made a couple of years ago that remains one of my favorites;
