EDIT: Scrapped. New and improved version coming soon!

My first photomanipulation, not counting following tutorials in planning class. It's not much, and I might move it to Scraps later, but I wanted to put this out here.
This was made as both practice with Photshop (which is a billion times better than Corel Draw, by the way) and as a tribute to the song The Trees, by Rush. I will likely redo this entirely at some point, but I've been waiting awhile to even attempt this.

The Trees Lyrics (not owned by me):

There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.
