This has a wonderful composition - all the elements work well together and just the right balance of the dark dark at the bottom and the bright bit at the sweet spot. Nice use of texture to give the space in the middle a bit of, well, texture. :-)
Can't you just hear the swells of the violins as this book cover comes to life? WOW - how beautiful. The little lacy fingers of the tree make it tell a story.
Hey, I just posted a close up of that lamp. Well, not that lamp, but one quite a bit like it. :) I love what you are doing with the overlays in conjunction with the lensbaby. And I like the way you put the sweet spot on the foreground rather than the subject.
