Was taking some shots in the garden yesterday and this one stood out. Comments and critique welcomed. The Blue Spruce:

I think the trick to this image is the beautiful soft pastel colours of the spruce and the background. I would like to have seen a bit more of the spruce to balance the image a bit, but it's the colours that stand out more than anything (including the high ISO artefacts)

nice work.

I'm with Killa - would like to see less at the bottom of the frame, and more at the top - is that really the colour? cool

( :oops: edit - can't believe I said 'cool' :oops: )

Rel - all I did was increase the saturation a tad...it's a beautiful tree.

Why is it called a blue spruce?

Oh..I know, 'cos it's from the spruce family!

I agree with Killa and Rel - love the colours and the sharpness but would really like to see more. Absolutely gorgeous plant.
