Sunshine adores pinecones. She hunts them when we go to the park, and she asks for them whenever we take her stroller near a pine tree. As a result, we have a little pile of pinecones in the planter near our front door. This is one of them.

This is a beauty, Caryn.
@Katie, Thanks, Katie! It was kind of fun to look up close at something I usually just take for granted.
beautiful result and nice focus interpretation
@fabrizio, Thanks. I liked how the focus brought out different details, so that's why I chose it.
seeing it in sepia makes the details even more noticeable..
nice shot!
@rian, Exactly why I chose it! I had a similar one in color, and I may still post it someday, but I liked how the color and the sepia ones seemed to showcase different elements.
Very artistic! This would make very nice wall decoration!
@Arjan -PlasticDaisy, Thanks! Yes, I can definitely see that. Maybe in a mountain cabin somewhere, where you'd want something that isn't particularly distracting or striking.
