The picture has an ethereal quality to it. Excellent play of light and shadow. The eye is drawn to the center, where the light is strongest, on the needles. The muted green and purple, and the rainbow effect on the bottom, left are quite captivating.
Don't know if it's a butterfly in the center, but that's what it looks like, and it's a nice touch. The composition of the photo is also well done. This picture fills me with warmth and happiness to look at it. Don't know why, but it just feels like a celebration of life. I love this picture. Good job!

You're quite welcome. I know this is a late reply, but I'm on site today and trying to understand how to send a reply and be able to see my reply in my stack. I tried to reply to someone else (and did remember to uncheck "remove this message after I reply); I clicked "Add Comment," and I still have theirs but can't seem to find mine. What am I doing wrong? So, I'm trying again - hopefully I'll see this one. I really do love your work, by the way!

Not sure you just reply and hit "add comment", and it should appear in the stack under the photo or item you are commenting on.

Thanks again

There's just something about the way the sun hits the pine needles that makes it so...mysterious (is the only word I can think of at the moment ).

I mean, I've seen pretty pictures of nature before on here, but nothing quite like this.

Thank you again! It was just the perfect lighting and opportunity...it's what we photographers try and look for.
