The quote works well with the bare tree. You've got a powerful image and quote - to make it more so I'd like to see the photo cropped a bit - or shrunk down so the words could use more of the space. I'd suggest profile vs. landscape orientation and the author's name smaller or in italics.
Very unique, make what is beyond the picture understandable. It's slightly confusing beyond the tree, which then causes the tree to be confusing. Is the picture looking up, I see now it is, but I first saw it as looking down at the tree from the roof of a house. This just shows it's a little close.
The text should of been centered and the authors name a bit smaller? Just my opinion. The shot is great in these tones, and of course the moon is fantastic.
Interesting eery photo. It almost looks like a tree from a movie stage, like I am going to see an elf in the branches... How true the text is! Well done.
