the old tree in sultan's palace in istanbul...

Very beautiful texture in this image! It is almost a tear in space. A void from which may come the unthinkable. I would like to go inside!

I was looking closer and you could make very many very interesting versions of this image with cropping. perhaps with the top portion leaving out the back ground etc. A gold mine in the base of that wonderful tree!

you can do lots with it since you chose more rather than less depth of field. If I was compositing this particular composition I may have opted for much less.
