I got this for an Asian styled room full of dark colors with rustic red and orange accents.  It did beautifully.  As a focal point, bigger was better.  I was lucky enough to have a natural light source on its left to pick up the light sky and make it come alive.  This was a sale piece and for the price, it was a steal.  If you love nature or Asian influence, you will love this. The closer up the leaves are the more detailed they are.  There is a slight loss of detail the further they are from the trunk but its not a loss to the overall picture.  You really have to look close and study it to notice.  The color contrast that details the trunk and limbs is still pronounced.  Detail may be better with a smaller size but bigger to me was better so as not to lose the feel of the massive size of the tree and I don't think I gave anything up.  It gives a great feel of the energy of nature and a powerful statement to the energy of the room.
