    Spring Pinecone

    We went hiking today at Petit Jean State Park and I took this shot at one of the lookouts. The focus I think is spot on thanks to the help of you guys on here.

    The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn't what you saw at the time. The real skill of photography is organized visual lying. - Terence Donovan

    I like the shot though I might crop the main branch off the bottom. The focus looks good and there are a lot of things that could fool it. - TF

    I like the colors and focus but there is something about the framing/format that bothers me.

    I guess I probably want a smaller frame with more emphasis on the pine cone and less distracting background.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    The colors are gorgeous. I think it would be nice if the cone were exposed just a bit more.

    Beautiful

    I like the composition and the red colors of the pine leaves

    Wow, spectacular colour and great DoF. I'd maybe crop to take out the bight object bottom right.
