Houston, TX, November, 2016
This peaceful spot is surrounded by busy highways and is near downtown.

I like it - imagine this as a backdrop on a wall.

Did you give it a whirl in b/w?  I find it often improves texture/shape heavy images that have little contribution from color in the first place.

This would work also in B&W yes!

Thank you gentlemen and Elsa.  I have not yet tried it in B&W but on account of two recommendations I will have to try it.  It will be a few days until I get around to it.

B/w is always worth a try for images where color contributes little, as it can distract from the rest of the image without a fair contribution to the overall value.

I like this in colour. I can see it covering a whole wall in a coffee shop. Makes you feel right outside

Thank you Elsa.  I have been pondering if looking at this would increase my caffeine cravings which you know are considerable.  These trees grow all over Houston.  I have one in my yard.

nice, with a light touch of Klimt (The Park, MoMa)
I agree about the B&W suggestion.
