Quite a dark image, possibly needs a little better lighting in order to gain some DOF

When I asked my friends and family for a subject for this challenge this is the one they chose. I couldn't get to where there was one, so thank you! I'll point them here.

Photographically speaking, I don't feel the tipped angle of the tree trunk supports the theme so well. And, for me, the use of sepia tone detracts--I wonder did the subject need that treatment? Contrast, focus, crop,--right on as far as I'm concerned. Luck

I'm not sure if I like the sepia, I would like to see this in b&w to compare. Nice photo, though, really good idea.

Very nice. Excellent use of sepia to give it a very earthy tone.

I love the subject. It really fits the challenge. IMO the focus seems a little soft. Maybe a little post processing sharpening would help.
