Comment from MGTF Blue
Super piece of work this. Lovely warm colouring and very graphic composition. The inclusion of the bird is excellent and I just LOVE that glow on the trunk of the tree, completely makes the picture for me.

I really like the feel and the colors in this. The design elements balance nicely and the simplicity makes it more peaceful in spite of the warmer colors. Very nice work!

Exceptional image...very nicely done...you should have a good chance at the contest.

I particularly love the bird in the sky and the varied shades throughout the image...and the sun off the side of the tree is great.

Nice job
