I love it !!

Just two little things:
- The tree implantation seems a bit strange, probably because it takes 
root in a dark place, but I can't tell exactly.
- At first impression, the flock of birds seems to be at mountain 
distance, which would make the birds very big indeed. But after that I 
thought that sometimes reality also gives this kind of illusions, so I'm 
not sure there would be something to do about it.

Thanks for the image,

JC
