I wanted to call this done, but I think it still needs some work. All the branches seem to be on the same plane. The original photo is very dark, and I “saw” multiple trees, and maybe some vines hanging down. My father has since sent a new photo, and it is in fact one tree. The photo below is what I started from.
Ducks stopped by for a few minutes early this morning, but have been absent since. Two of the Bushtits visited during breakfast. They have been here less often as well. I had a little fun with Photoshop filters on these.
