    ...sorry, not sure why photobucket is not giving a larger image and making you go there to see it. I will try to figure it out.

    It's easier if you just upload them here to the forums. That way you know for sure they're going to post correctly, too.

    I did check it out on Photobucket and I can see why you took the picture. It's a very interesting bonsai tree. I like the subject a lot. I do feel like the overall image is a bit dark, though. I also found the vignetting, which I assume you added, very distracting. It doesn't look natural and takes my attention away from the tree. Like I said, I think it's a good subject so I think it's worth processing again or even reshooting. Why did you add the vignetting, anyway? What were you trying to accomplish with it?

    I would agree the vignetting is too much. I am not really a fan of vignettes unless they are very subtle, and even then, it really depends on the subject. The tree is beautiful however, and you captured it well. I think it would look much better without the vignette.
