Wonderful. It looks exactly like a tree in a park in Princeton NJ, and there is a sign under it that would need to be cloned out. Could it be? #1371275

Yup. Its in Marquand Park, in Princeton. Cropping out the sign was a pain in the neck! #9363236

Oh...to find this tree...I guess I know where it is now though. :) Wonderful shot and effects applied. #9363247

R.J. - Thanks for looking & for the nice feedback. The funny thing is that there are very nice (although not quite as old or big) Threadleaf Japanese Maple trees on the front lawns of homeowners 2 minutes from my house. My guess is that they wouldn't like to find me out there at 7 a.m. with my camera & tripod! I think I'll stick with the park. #9363481

Now you have all four seasons of this magnificent tree. You did an excellent job on all. That tree has so much character. I also love Japanese maples, but have not seen one that big here in Michigan. #9365797
