    Almost.

    I'd get rid of some of the empty space at the top and mostly the bottom of the frame.

    Instead of white maybe and very light version of your signature color.

    Nice pic! thumb.gif

    I hate those blown skies, too, Gale. This works very well! It actually would make a nice greeting card for the holidays with the neat pine tree! :D

    That's a lot of white :cool

    I'd make it a bit tighter crop maybe? I'm not sure

    The tight crop is much better but there's still too much white. I would go for more of the branches with a little bit less white.

    Linda just came in and realy liked the shot an asked who took it.

    Hi Jeff
    No, does not hurt.
    I am learning. I agree also
    Sometimes you have to post them to get a good look.
    Good effect. Just need to perfect it.
    Thank you for your support:>)))))))

    The second version is a good crop while leaving a good space for text for whatever. This wud be a great card.

    However, the transition from eagle to white, esp on the right hand side, is to harsh for me - wish it was feathered mwink.gif a little more.
