A very elegant and visually pleasing presentation. A skillfully made mixed media entry. You have framed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good luck!

Comment from Trajan
Really interesting image.
I like the double exposure effect that is then put in soft focus as the background.
Really adds depth and interest to the image.
The lighting works as does the off center focus of the composition.
Great job!

I like this very much. It is intriguing how the branch curves into the photo. The olives and leaves have perfect color and texture and they are pin sharp. The background is outstanding. It is extraordinary how you matched the colors and took the shadows of the olives as texture.

This is a wonderful photo with gorgeous shades of olive. The muted background is reminiscent of an Old Masters painting. This photo would make a beautiful holiday card or note card. I would consider posting it on Fine Art America and see what income you generate.
