There’s a sculpture garden in Seattle Washington which sports this offering. It fascinated me.

Toldja you’d like it! Your post brought it to mind immediately.

That’s something my mom would love! It’s gorgeous!

So it will remind you of winter even when everything is green? Seriously, though, that is a lovely piece of sculpture, and a great capture on your part!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

A very fine talent produced that work – and it is an excellent, unique choice for today.
I took the photo of the Yamaha then, yes. I have a long archive.

It’s so life-like, such a cool sculpture.

The tree looks so real. Some of my favorite photos are of the stark branches of a tree in winter in silhouette against the sky.
Stop by and see my metal photos if you have time.

Love how this metal sculpture artistically mimics the wonderful art of Nature! It almost seems to be a tribute to Nature! Beautiful shot!

WOW! That is really stunning! And to think that tree is made of metal! Way cool and great finds you have there!:)

Nice take on the theme. One suggestion: I would move back a little bit and move the subject out of the center of the photo. Use the “rule of thirds” composing your photographs to create more interest in the shot. I hope you don’t mind the input, and I really do like the shot. :0)

How I’d love to have this sculpture in my yard!

Tarheel, I thank you for your input, but in this case I think that it was appropriate the break the rules and center my frame around the subject. If you will note, the tree itself is obeying the rule of thirds, having distinct sections which take up portions of the photo… the trunk, the lower branches, and the extended branches. Sometimes it’s okay to focus on the focal point.

Simply beautiful! and it goes so well with my posted metal rose :)
Happy PH and happy weekend!

All I can say about your is WOW and welcome to Photo Hunters! Come on by to see mine here!

Great choice! I’d love to see that in person. It had all kinds of thoughts running through my head – but that’s what art is supposed to do , isn’t it?

From far it looked so real. The creator is a genius. :)

About my photo – good guess. It is copper pipe stacked at the plumbing supply company where I work.

At first glance I thought this was a painting. An artist’s rendering for an architectural bid or something. Fascinating is a good word for it. It certainly is engaging.
Mine’s a bit more prosaic (and a lot less popular apparently!) but it’s up!
November 29th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Definitely a piece of art. What a great post you had today!
Please come check mine…
