The Tree Shepherd

This one is quite a special picture for me in two ways: firstly I took the pic of the tree with my new Canon EOS 40 D (-: and secondly it is my first fotomanipulation I have ever submitted. The eye is from an old shooting I did with my brother.
I must say that I am quite satisfied with the result of my first attempt in fotomanip.
Please let me know what you think of it and what I could do better next time. I really would like to impove my skills in both, photography and manipulating in photoshop.
Title: got inspired by Lord of the Rings - movie
