Nice light in this and some interesting little details. My primary criticism is that it's not straight. Otherwise, pretty nice!

You're right, Matt. It was canted about 2 degrees to the right. Good eye. I didn't even notice it. Mea culpa. This better?

[MattBurt]

Yes!
For whatever reason it seems easier to spot a tilt like that in others' work and overlook it in my own. I guess I get focused on whatever it is I'm happy with or wish was a little different that I sometimes miss the most basic issues.

Interesting - straightening does make quite a difference visually.  What the eye is used to and all that I guess.  I really like the almost-wreath of the leaves - nice focal point for me.

Nice light touch on the shadow detail.  Good job.

Really good spot of a perfectly lit, interesting detail.

Thanks all, and thanks to Matt especially. I can't believe I missed that. Looking at it now the difference it clear as a bell.
