Lighted tree with fence

I know that the ground by the tree is too bright, I tried to fix it, but it turned out way too green.

I like this image. I really like the fence in the foreground, and I think that if you cropped a little bit of the tree off at the top it would make a stronger image.

I like the image. Your post processing has given it a sort of sureal feel to it. I don't even mind that the tree is centered. That just goes to show that rules aren't always necessary for art.

Could you elaborate on how you achieved the soft-focus look without lowering the contrast?

The soft focus look is there because the photo was shot with a wide open aperature. I also had a 1.7x teleconverter on the camera. I wasnt sure if I should leave it the way it is or if I should sharpen it up in PS.

Thanks for the comments.
