@Lorraine: It really is a stainless steel tree – piece of sculpture. It sits outside the St. Louis Art Museum in Forest Park – St. Louis' largest urban park. In processing, I did try to pull back some of the reflection off the edges of the branches. The lens flare was naturally occurring also. I had some shots without the flare, but I sort of like it in the shot.

Love the flare; it carries the eyes to the tree. The light reflecting off the tree/branches is fantastic. Great stuff!

The lighting on this tree is very beautiful. The stainless steel gives this tree an unusual appearence. The contrast with the blue sky is great. Well done.

Bravo Ron. This is really a striking capture. I agree with you, the lens flare adds some zest to the shot.

very nice contrast! i like the weird sort of round perspective created by the rays of light.

When the page first opened and I saw the glistening branches, it made me think of the ice covered branches from the recent ice storms and then I saw the caption and started noticing the detail. Nice job! Cool tree and cool pic.

Another great detail shot Ron. I really like the steel tree, incredibly well designed and a great capture of it with all that lovely lens flare.
