a stream runs through it

A very nice result, Ed!

Ed, this does not work in sepia imho.  And because of the dull light and poor exposure, you have limited this nice scene.  It also looks blurry.  If you were looking for an impressionistic image, you are better off capturing more of that fleeting light.  At this point it just looks like a jumble of sticks and trees and is a flat rendition of what could have been.  I use my anonymity because some people have a way of retaliating when given an honest appraisal of their work.  I hope this helps and that you don't take it the wrong way.
