My only question is why is there so much white around the trees? Especially the one that is directly over the fin.

Yeah, I'm a little so-so on it. Some of the color is blotchy because I had to compress the photo so badly to get it under the file size limit. If you see it in full 12-bit color, it's very smooth.
As to the white around the trees, that's due to how I got the sky so blue. Because of the large black region in the composition of the photo, it over-exposed the sky. I don't have a gradient filter yet, so I can't really correct for it. I added the blue to the sky, and then started fudging with things.
The colors are a little over the top due to the way I did the post-processing. That, and the jpeg compression algo is also what created the "smudged sensor" look.
I usually look for the ultimate in sharpness and faithful color reproduction in my photography. But in playing with this photo, it started to take shape in a kind of "pop-art" interpretational kind of photo. I appreciate the feedback. I know it's tough to evaluate, it's not a very common technique with photograpgy, and I don't know that I'm any good at it.
