I think it is so stable you could put some stress on it by leaving the comfort zone when working on the tones.
Contrast, dodging+burning and such.

Post by: Jeremy Roussak on March 27, 2014, 05:26:56 am: I agree with Chris, but I'm not entirely convinced by his "perfectly balanced": it looks cramped at the top, and I'd like to see a little more sky above the uppermost branches. Easily fixed, I think.
