just a simple idea.. break off a branch and hold it there to create a really easy illusion. such a nice day to shoot I just couldnt help but get out there. cropped, umm... unsharp mask... border... that's it.

I really like the soft whiteness of the branch/trunk on the left. The idea for "separated" is interesting, but I didn't see that part at first because the left branch/trunk distracted me. I think it would be better if the seperated branch was the soft, white one, and the left one was dark.
I think another angle might have composed the tree in the shot better. A little busy (if the focus is the seperated branch). Love the blue sky background and the tree has great promise for a cool shot. Never the less, a nice job.
