Love the camera angle! This is wonderful! :D 1 - Hm, I don't see a bend?? 2 - lens flare, yup. 3 - That is a natural effect seen on fir trees. The trunk shoots upward first, then it adds branches and needles later. So it's pretty typicall to see the trunk above the branches. Someday, we will have additional conifers in SolidGrowth to choose from besides only the fir. Really nice job on this, Jackson. Be proud. :)
