Magical treatment of this scene Hector! I'm sure the more I look at the tree it takes on a life of its own! I love it!

Very dynamic treatment Hector! The tree seems to be in constant motion interacting with the clouds and wind. Beautiful work!!!

Very painterly Hector. Simple and effective use of filters. Looks like it could be an illustration in a book.
