Hey Doug,
Man, this one is super! Very cool job on isolating that tree, and then catching the sun at just the right moment.
Nice!

I can't help but wonder how it would look without the sun flare. It's beautiful, but my first reaction is that is seems more of a distraction than something that adds to the image. The tree is so beautiful on its own.

Thanks!
Actually that was my second crack at it that morning. I missed the first time and had to go running down a hill with all of my gear to get in place for another try. I'm sure that it was comical to watch.

I have several without the sun as well. The tree alone against that sky was what first drew me to the scene. I like the sun flare because, at least to me, it gives it a "fleeting moment" feel.

Thanks!
I sent you an email Sunny. It's off of Latrobe Road, East of Sacramento.
To give it some perspective I took that at 400mm so it's quite a way from the road. That said, there are hundreds of similar trees in the Sierra foothills. All you have to do is look for them.
