Bunya Pine trees are a native conifer in Southeastern Queensland rainforests and grow 35-40 metres tall. The decaying pine fronds produce a wonderful array of colours, and the large heavy nuts (not pictured here) are a highly nutritious food source . They are also lethal if they land on your head!
Very little processing done, just a little sharpening on the edges.

I was captivated by the colour and textures of these fronds but wondered if the lighting needed a boost?
Diny: Oh this is fine! Marvelous color palette and textures and the light is spectacular. Not suer what the little “flower” is but it’s a great complementary element. Most excellent. >=))>
Absolutely fine!! Fascinating interplay of shapes and unexpected colors! The lighting looks perfect to me – I’m peering into the darker regions but there is perfect detail there. I wouldn’t change a thing!!
And now, on top of your birds and marsupials, we discover that your forest floor detrius is much more interesting than ours!! Keep posting whatever strikes your fancy!
Diny, this is an excellent collection of tones, shapes and brightness. Since it’s moderately abstract, I do suggest some mid-tone dodging along the dark string of nearly vertical fronds just left of the left 1/3 line. I think some dodging there would even out the viewing.
