							Try a simple graduated blur on the sides while keeping the center of the falling tree sharp

							 No  suggestions,  criticisms,  or  other  comments?    I'm  NOT  asking  for  votes...I'm  just  trying  to  improve.    Okay...TofuTheGreat  suggested  trying  spherize  on  the  texture  as  the  tree  falls.    Probably  a  good  idea...  How  about  more  blur/shadows:  where  &  h

							 spherizing  the  falling  tree  will  blur  the  center,  which  I  feel  needs  to  remain  crisp.

							 Thanks  for  the  comments  and  suggestions!    It's  funny  that  I  took  the  sawdust  details  for  granted,  and  that  wound  up  being  the  best  part...  lol!
