Phil,

Good catch. You are an astute observer. I never noticed. I wish i  
knew enough about photoshop to create something like this from  
scratch, but I don't. The tree lives on a windy, isolated point of  
land. The only thing I cat think to say is that perhaps the trunk  
isn't exactly vertical and I tilted the camera to compensate for it.  
Next time I'm there I'll take a look.
