I love this sculpture and your treatment of it. Well done. If you ever come back to Buenos Aires – look me up! Cheers from a recent follower (thanks to Creative Commons on FB linking your blog).

This is really beautiful! I searched the web and found a “normal” photo of it. That photo makes it look boring, blah, whatever. Yours makes it jump out and smack me in the face saying, “Look at how awesome I am!” Fantastic job!!!!!!

Stunning, like from scifi series of some sort.

Btw Trey, I added link to my site to your HDR tutorial, hope you dont mind. (It wont generate much traffic as it just went live but maybe sometime)

Btw your categories have number of posts related to them, which wp plugin (Im assuming that you use plugin) enables that?

Thanks!

Yes – it is a real solar power collector. I don’t think it’s all that efficient.. ! hehe… mostly art

Fantastic! Does it have a purpose?. . . other than art? I would love to be there in person, but your photos are certainly the next best thing to actually being in the moment.

Hi Trey,

This is truly a brilliant capture!!! Your photography never ceases to amaze me.

Can you share more about this solar flower? Is it simply art?

Thanks for bring the far reaches of the world onto my computer screen.

Michael – yes – there is a lot of greenery there but I had to get low to get it all.

Trey, After a long time I am posting a comment and felt the perfect need to do so. This picture is one of its kind to say so.

I am reminded of your old processing of the times square when I see this picture. Stunning Image.

Very very cool! I dont remember all the trees and shrubs around there. That blows my shots of that thing away! Love the PS lighting treatment on the foreground greenery too

Incredible!
This is one of your best. Almost like in a science-fiction movie.
I am expecting a spacecraft to appear in the sky any minute.
A new type of photography? You know how to build up some tension! Can’t wait.
