Nice shot! I don't think that there is a prettier colour than that of the new needles on a pine or fir tree (in Washington, of course)
Beautifully sharp, and detailed image... great clarity and lighting! The tones of green are exquisite and vibrant, most refreshing light energy indeed!
Hard to believe an inch a year ends up being 100's of feet high--I love the greens and the light!!
Gorgeous green.........can just about smell the fir.........Lovely work.
Few words but how true! Wonderful pine capture with great colors.
Wonderful colors and excellent DOF. Fantastic photo!
This is lovely. There was a fashion here years ago for DWARF conifers, that is, very slow growing ones. Some folk failed to realise that most of them would eventually become quite large, albeit very slowly, and now regret planting scores of them in a small space!
Nice picture love the greens.
A very lovely shot Tara. I like so much needle trees.
COOL SHOT
lovely...
Oh wow - I just love the new growth on any plant or tree - soft and tender yet tenatious!!! Wonderful image Tara...
New life springs forth and is in an instant caprured for all time, nice one sweetie.
the light on the young shoots is gently luminous, and the background is a quiet sea, showing the younger trees what they'll be like one day. One Native American tale tells that when someone was about to cut down a tree, the tree shouted to all the other trees: "Watch out!" And then the cutter would cut a different tree entirely...why a different one? Because when the first tree shouted, "watch out," the other trees surrendered themselves, and therefore they could receive their fate with open heart. Just showing the reverence they had for the wisdom & power of trees...The knots & towers of your background trees strike me as elders looking down on the youngster upfront; and the youngster, all lit, is happy to pose for your camera. Gentle & delicate shot, and filled with the light that only forests get. Very restful, and the shoots are beautiful.
Beautiful colours! Even greens have their beauty.... Wonderful shot... Rob.
hope

Wonderful shot! :)
So beautiful Tara, I can almost smell the needles! There I go missing Washington again...
very nice!
Fantastic work and it raises an interesting philosophical issue as well...how humble are the beginnings of most large endeavors? Tiny things always tend to grow or have massive consequences. As for the image itself, I love the use of light here, the details, and the wonderful way in which foreground and background play so well together! Great work.
I love the tiny pine cones ..wayyyy cool
