[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A cone is an organ on plants in the division Pinophyta (conifers) that contains the reproductive structures. The familiar woody cone is the female cone, which produces seeds. The male cones, which produce pollen, are usually herbaceous and much less conspicuous even at full maturity. The name "cone" derives from the fact that the shape in some species resembles a geometric cone. The individual plates of a cone are known as scales.
The male cone (pollen cone) is structurally similar across all conifers, differing only in small ways (mostly in scale arrangement) from species to species. Extending out from a central axis are microsporophylls (modified leaves). Under each microsporophyll is one or several microsporangia (pollen sacs).
The female cone (seed cone) contains ovules within which, when fertilized by pollen, become seeds. The female cone structure varies more markedly between the different conifer families, and is often crucial for the identification of many species of conifers.

Hello Francis,

Another superb artistic work with great natural perspective! The colors are perfect with great sharpness and from a nice POV. A wonderful game between light and shadow, is revealed in this original idea.
A great note on Cone with botanical background!

Wonderful work, my friend.

best regards,
Paras

Hi Francis

Fantastic artwork, seems like studio shots with terrific shadows and highlights
The temperate color of background actually added to its prettiness
The frame is pioneering but (in my opinion) is not entirely match with it

dear Francis Xavier,
this wonder light and shadow are impressive,
and those make this still objects very fantastic beyond the reality,
brown tone of colors is nice to express the strange ambience in this situation,
and of course it shows us the air in this mid autumn very well.
thank you for your imaginative picture,
Akihisa

Very nice scene.
By choosing a great POV you have managed to have, shadows, reflections on the wood and beautifull colours.
Sharp with nice details.
