I am a sucker for a tree still life and this is a good one. A little bump in contrast or levels black slider, maybe.

Joe,
I like this - particularly the mood and the high key conversion. I'm not really connecting with the comp though. The top seems unbalanced to me and maybe that was deliberate to create tension. I guess I'm looking for symmetry. Either a tree top on the left or less of one on the right. This may just be me. It's a nit though. I'd still enjoy it on my wall.

I sorta like the high key presentation, Joe. But something seems to be missing. Maybe a bit more contrast, something, I'm not sure where I would go.

I like this a lot, Joe. I can't say I'd change anything. Very dramatic and mysterious. I feel like the comp is asymetrical but balanced. Very nice work.

Thank you all for the feedback. Here's a version with more contrast for comparison.
