Thanks for all the kind words.
EosD, I agree with you on the tree, it did bother me a bit but I'm stuck with it.
As for the frame I tend to present most images for internet viewing with this frame as it's quick and easy with the camera settings included with only a few key board strokes via a PS script. I would never dream of printing it in this fashion but you're right it is too heavy.
Bachs, I did consider B&W but, like you, I thought it needed some amount of colour.
CT, this is not a crop. You think the tree is too close to the top of the frame ?
Hmmm, thats got me wondering now.
This is another shot from the same week.
