![Sun on the Pines](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/0/b/0b020c0e890c57d723e2741d59bbbc2d0747ce1f.jpeg) This is a favorite of mine because it was such a peaceful morning. I was the only one up on the upland prairie at Chip Ross Park. It’s hard to really get an amazing sunrise because of trees in the way but looking across to this hill of pines it was so beautiful watching the light move across the trees. I posted this back in the summer in black and white I believe but most liked it in color, me too. ### Specific Feedback Requested ### Technical Details Is this a composite: No Nikon D3400, f/6.3 1/320, 300mm, ISO400 I did very minimal if anything in post. ###### ---

I think color brings out the mood and serenity on this one, Vanessa. I can see why it’s a favorite. Nicely done. ---

Really lovely image Vanessa. The soft light across the pines has imparted a nice peaceful vibe to the scene that I find very inviting. I can see why this is one of your favorites. ---

I can see why this is one of your favorites. Thanks for thinking so @Ed_Lowe ! I was afraid the light was too subtle and the image too dark. But I’m glad you like it.
