Veins

Tony, nice image of the tree, apparently with spring buds, and mirrored by the four similar trees in the background. The little branch on the left is unavoidable, but its removal (if you do those manipulations) might highlight the background trees a bit better. If this is a conversion from digital color it is very good with fine and not excessive contrast. Was the dark sky achieved by filter or PS alteration? In the film days we might get that with filtered IR film.
