Colleen, this is truly lovely. Your choice of subject, the gnarled tree and the rock, is itself fascinating. The effects enhance it and don't detract from its own beauty. So many textured things, for me, do just that, call attention to themselves. But I am always so impressed with your facility with blending the elements into not just a pleasing, but a creative, artistic, and meaningful whole. #7323947
