This lil' tree makes me sad. I know this is merely a transference of my own feelings, but I get a sence of longing from this plant. I get a feeling of isolation, and lonliness. I feel sorrow, and a deep desire to break free. I also get a sence of the frustration that we feel when barriers are placed in our way.

The tree outside the open window is a bit distracting after reading EE's post, but somehow I think you picked up on something very importand as far as your composition goes. i just don't see this image working with that curtain closed, or all the way open, yet drawn as it is half way seems somehow perfect. Damn the tree in the BG, I like this image as it is!
