Weird but striking. I agree that the transition between the tree and sky seems a little abrubt but I still like the surreal quality a lot.
P.S. There is a little of me in the center of the largest ball -- closest I have come to a self portrait yet...

That is wonderful ps work Carol. I had someone think I'd done a composite with one of my Texas cow images...I guess I'd inadvertently solarized my tree.:) The sky and colouration of the hills is beautiful. Your tree is magical.:)

Thanks everyone for all of your comments! I used solarization to get the funky drama in the clouds and that solarization created the white outlines in the leaves of the tree (this is not a composite and the tree is not pasted in). IMHO, the contrasting white on the foliage looked cool -- like frost or ice crystals, so I added some lighting effects behind the tree. I purposely didn't try to integrate the white with the clouds and am not surprised that not everyone agrees with that approach. But heh, that's ok. This is a very subjective realm we float around in and I enjoy the commentary and suggestions so very much. I included the original for anyone who's curious...

Carol; the sky is beautiful; the fore and mid-ground very nice; but the top of the tree just doesn't integrate very well with the sky IMO-- the lighting is just "too different". I'm not a PS whiz but it looks to me that some careful dodging/burning/cloning might smooth the transition. I love the idea and composition of the picture though. Try punching up the magnification (of the tree) and doing some work on the leaves part of the tree to get a better integration with the sky.

It's a good idea, although it shows that the tree is pasted there with its original background.
