Beautiful branch Jill! It has so much going for it! Fantastic toning, colors and details!!! A couple of small things I would mention. I would lighten the cast shadow a little. You want the cast shadow to ground and support your subject, not compete or overpower it. I would also tone down the reflected highlight – it is a little too white. Along with that I would darken the right side to emphasize the form even more. Great job!!!

Very nice Jill! Lovely texture. I would just echo everything that Doug suggested. Nice work!
