I hung this on the wall in my foyer and from where I sit in the living room it's almost like looking through a window.  I love that the tree trunks, branches, and birds are different colors and textures and the 3-D design casts neat shadows on the wall  It's a unique piece and I'm happy I purchased it.  I noticed an odor when I first unpacked it (from the finish, I assume) but the smell went away after a day or two.
