    I really like this image. I know it is not showing it's natural setting but this would make a great print or even to sell as note cards. Your processing was well done. Thanks for sharing it.
    Have a great day!

    Thanks Orv
    Thanks Katie
    I have plenty of natural settings: I was looking for just exactly what you described in this shot I blured our the limb top and bottom to give the impression of being suspended and added a warming tone and light from the top it has been a great shot for me . I placed well in a contest of over 30,000 entries. Sometimes an image has to be iloveyou.gif helped to be better.
    Thanks for the compliments.

    Interesting...
    it does look artificial, but is still quite attractive. Nice photoshopping!
