Steve, I like the various shades of brown and the lines and shapes created in this. I find myself wishing to see those droplets up closer, but that might not have been possible for you at the time. The LLC doesn’t seem to have as much going on, so I don’t know if maybe a vignette would help, as some of the corners also have bright drops and limbs going out, which can pull the eye from the rest of the image. I like how the pine needles cross.
A very interesting tangle of twigs, needles and dew drops, Steve. I agree with @Shirley_Freeman about the left side. I think cropping in from the left (but leaving most or all of the semi-vertical needle with it’s graceful curve) would create a more balanced frame.
Steve: I’ll add my ditto to Dennis and Shirley regarding the left side but all the other little details are marvelous. Well seen, composed and captured. >=))>
