My intention here was to focus on the tree with the arch framing it. I was struck by how exactly the shape of the arch and column matched the shape and lines of the tree. It seems obvious that the first arches and columns were inspired by nature, and that was the point I was trying to make with this image.

I like the juxtaposition, but the contrast is quite low. I'd also suggest either a larger aperture so the tree blurs out quite a bit or a smaller aperture so the arch is sharper. Probably the former.
You know, maybe someone did what you described, while designing that arch. Maybe they had these shapes in mind. I didn't catch what you saw but my first thought was that it looks like the arch has a natural curtain hanging over it. I like the contrast between the soft arch and the sharp tree.
Appears the focus (literally) was on the tree rather than the architecture ... especially unfortunate since the duotone or desat treatment makes the tree look dead.
