Magical indeed! I want to try this on one of my trees now, but that is quite a spectacular specimen with its low long branches. The warm B&W conversion was the perfect choice for this photograph..very nicely done.

Magical indeed in a very theatrical way.
Is this part of a show? If so, you might want to give credit to it.

very cool image. If this were shot on a tripod (I suspect it wasn't), it would improve the image greatly for several reasons.

It appears you have the ISO cranked way up, leading to incredible amounts of un-needed noise. Also, the focal plane seems to be on the tree, and the bench/man seem to be OOF. With a smaller aperture, you could focus on the bench and have everything remain in focus. Good attempt!
