    From my backyard (the forest). This image also works well as my 1680x1050 wallpaper

    Re: Treetop Sky

    It is expansive, alright. I like the blue, but not sure about how it and the subjects all work together. Perhaps the sun is too dominant? The trees are ok supporting characters, but... seems like the lead character must have called in sick cause I don't see him. Perhaps a big bear getting ready to pounce

    The lead character was supposed to be the sky. Bears normally don't fall from there :P

    Would you care to explain the statement?

    As for the photo, the sun seems to dominant and as GB (I think) said, where is the main character and what is the story. It doesn't come over for me. I guess the foreground is missing.
