Just returned from a brief sojourn in Colorado and this was taken at about 12,000 feet elevation.
I did not expect to find moss growing on the trees. Anyway...

Does it have any potential as a wall hanger?

The trees are tall, but the landscape format shortens the trees. maybe a portrait layout would have been better. This will bring the road back into play, which is also missing. The picture is interesting, but lacks a subject and the out of focus branch on the right is confusing.

The trees do look as if there is something there: form, texture...

I might have tried laying down on my back and taking a picture straight up.

Did you sharpen this pic? I looks like it may be a little over done. If this was shot in RAW, try to raise the contrast and the blacks. See how that looks. I agree with the other poster that a vertical shot would have been better and there is no specific point of interest. Adding the road/trail would give a point of interest and somewhere for the eye to lead into. Keep trying and when you go to an unusual, less traveled area, try to take as many shots as you can in landscape/portrait and using different focal lengths and aperatures for varied DOF's. If you are shooting digital, the only thing that you are going to lose is the time that it takes to vary your shots. Good luck in the future.

Just my $.02 as always here...

This image kind of struck me a bit. I don't think it would make a good image for framing as such because as was already mentioned, there really isn't any specific central subject or anything. However I have seen wall paper done in a very similar motif as this where an entire wall of a room was done with a similar type image (I remember one in a doctors office that was done that way) and in that regards, I think something like that would work very well.

Ok...I really don't know if that was any help for you at all there, but there it is :D.

Peace,
Jim
