It does have a wonderful Oriental feel to it. Really like this. I was thinking a more pastel background would "feel" more like Spring, but then one of the wonders of the season is the new green arising from the brown of winter. It's great just as it is.

I actually really love the composition of this photo, but I'm not a fan of the selective coloring. I think it would look great if it was either all in color or all sepia (or b/w).
