I like this take on the Theme, with the organically entwined limbs, reminds me of a Robert Frost poem.

You worked hard (I think) to put the dead black around the limbs (you missed six pixels), which I don't mind, but why the horizontal, lopsided crop (so popular in WS)? Really...can you describe your thinking for making this decision? You are under no obligation to do so, of course.

Hehe, worked hard indeed on the black background! I had to convince my wife to stand at the back of this plant holding a black coat as a backdrop. She was patient enough to do it.
As for the crop, this was the original framing, I am not sure I can give any explanation other than "I just like it this way" which, I suspect, is not very enlightening...;-) Thanks for the comments as always!

@ ryanrahn - Curves, definitely curves... Unless of course you can intertwine straight lines...;-)
