Richard,
I'm not too sure about this one. IMHO, it doesn't resemble a tree. I'll have to give you props for posting this and for trying something different.

I actually think this is pretty interesting, cool experiment.

Thanks, Zack. I'm taking a photography course with Tony Sweet, who encourages this type of experimentation. I was attempting to make it look like an impressionistic painting.

I'll second the props for experimenting! Although I like the color, the rest doesn't grab me (on the other hand I've never been grabbed by impressionistic painting either, although many are).

That's a creative effort, for sure, Richard. I think it falls short of impressionism by what Erik said - that you can't quite pick out the tree. Cropping a bit off the top might help pull out the tree trunks at the bottom.
