 For one, I liked how the background split the image. Almost looks like it should be rotated 90 degrees CCW. But no, these clouds were vertical. Shows an interesting transition from a clear day to an overcast day.

In the opposite direction, the green is slowly spreading upward. The lower branches are quite green, while the top ones have little to no green. It shows the transition between winter and spring.

The last element was the branches. To me, it looked like they were arms. And they were all emanating from the right or bottom of the capture. The tree tentacles are reaching into the cloud cover - reaching and expanding.

To me, the image conveyed spring blossoming. Blossoming and expanding... reaching for the sky. Lets see if others see it.
