Simple set-up. Looked around my room for something, found this troll and a floor light, set it all on my desk and shot away. Took around fifty shots to get what I wanted.
Shot in Sepia
Lowered size to 640x480
Heightened contrast
Warmify
Glow
Immediate satisfaction.
There was another shot that I considered for uploading, but it wasn't as good as this one.

Just thought I would post a slightly further thought.
You will notice that the hair is all slightly uniform in its dispersion. This is not a strong call to the word branch. When was the last time you saw a tree like that. Typically, trolls hair is very easy to bunch and gather into individual tufts.
If you had done that, you may have caught the theme a little more closely and merited some more positive votes.
Apparently this is a picture on the broader definitions of branch. Technically, the focus is short, bringing out detail in the hair. Try manual focus? or focus lock and either focus bracket or move in and out a bit. I like the colour tone.
It is an interesting picture to me because I am trying to find my "inner toy model" for my own shots, but I honestly can't quite grasp the connection to branch. Thoughts branching out? Where is the branching? Looks more like an explosion.
