eighten,
Do you consider the tree that Al posted to art? If so could you help the rest of us out a bit and tell us what about the tree and the design of the tree make it art? Or if you don't feel it is art only a very well designed tree, maybe some insight on what aspects of the tree you would alter or change to push it from a nicely designed tree to a work of art? I know for at least me this is where I have trouble making the distinction, and get a little lost.

Thanks for your insight
Adam
