Good subject for lith.... I am torn on whether this would be even better if it was cropped square on the left hand side. The shady area has detail but unbalances the composition. By cropping it square, there is still the darker presence there, but covered with a little foliage and it's balanced by the busier foliage on the right. More importantly, it does not overpower the main focal point of the shot.
 
There's no doubt that I'm led right to the title phrase in the image. The saplings are insistently pointing at the words as if to say "Pay attention now!"
 
Dan I like the lith quality to your print, but without a print title I might have ignored the letters in the window mainly due to the foliage hiding part of the them.
 
I really like this. I like the tone and composition. I'm not sure, either way, about the shadow, but I am curious about what's hinted at above. The branches look to me like an attentive audience listening to a speech from a balcony.
