Another one of your well seen compositions that most of us would have walked right by. Nice use of line, texture and shape. The conifer cone is a small but critical element. The black and white works well. This photo reminds me of some of Elliot Porter's work.

Outstanding Preston! You've been sandbagging again! I don't recall seeing this in your print portfolio either. You definitely should print and include this one. I really like the chaotic arrangement here - yet it just looks so well balanced with great structure. No nits or suggestions. Oh, and the pine cone.... perfect little element.
Just a note on the file: The master file is a an Adobe RGB file. I used the Channel Mixer and Tony's magic masks, along with a very slight warming (81a) on a Photo Filter Layer. It will be interesting to see how this prints.
I've been having fun going back in my archive and finding new things in old things.
