THIS kind of presentation is MUCH more compelling & intentional.

I am sure people will be far more impressed & less confused at what you are doing, if you show them this way. I know it loses a bit of the "is this real or is it fake" mystery -- but with short attention spans and trees as a subject, people are likely to gloss over and not think.

But here, it is clear and they can spend time on the quality rather than figuring it out.

Thank you for your kind words

I try to figure what camera angle is the best to make the tree the most impressive.

Also the light makes a big difference when it comes to realism. I think sunny days are clearly the best with all the play of shadows, but the sun is nowhere close to shine for the moment. Here is one from today, with camera almost on ground level.
