I don't care for the blurred border - it competes with the image itself. The high-key treatment works and doesn't work for me - the bottom half is cool, the top half a little too convoluted to work for me.
Fun to be verging on the quality of absolute chaos: I'm curious to know how muich further one could go before losing all sense of real-world reference in an image such as this. Great fun. Have to say I hate the border trick, however - seems completely naff compared with the riot of the image.
I think this shot is a bit too busy. It almost just looks like a mass cluster of twigs and branches, and so the eye can never really draw to one particular thing.
