Very observant of you :-). I would have walked right past it. Nicely executed 
as well. I used to have Sweet Gums when I lived in Jersey. Great fall color. 
They're not hardy here in Michigan. I believe you Californians call them Liquid 
Amber. I think the real name is Liquidumbar.

Not  nice to remind us of those nasty things that will be falling soon. 

I  find the shallow DOF at the bottom distracting, Jack.

I always have a problem with shots like this, in liking them, and in
shooting them myself. While the eye is attracted to contrasts in shape,
color, and texture, the image often fails to have the impact or convey the
real beauty of what was seen. Maybe it's just hard to capture the 3D reality
in an artful way that translates well to a 2D image. 

They leave me feeling empty.

Thumbs down, though I understand the attraction of the subject.

Liquidambar, actually, but I too always will call them Liquid Amber.
Most such Sweetgum are well past their glorious peak and sporting few
leaves.

Thanks, Paul!

I recognize it's missing all those things you mentioned and is only
offered as an obvious seasonal curiosity.
Actually, this image will likely not last the season. :)

I have a beautiful double-trunk Liquid Amber or Sweet Gum in my back 
yard! Maybe 50 feet tall.
Every two or three years I have a guy trim it all around and thin it 
out; and every other time, top it.
He takes maybe 6 to 10 feet off both major trunks.
It's roots do raise havoc with my waste water drain line that traverses
my backyard too... but, I am NOT getting rid of that Sweet Gum!

Still green, it hasn't been cold enough yet for the leaves to turn, but
when they DO, it's impressive!
