[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Dear Nature Lovers,

As in the past few years, I again should like to start the new one with a species new to TN: this time the Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi (Lamb.) Carr., 1856), a beautiful decidouos conifer, originating from the Japanese Alps, from the island of Honshu. I found other larch (Larix sp.) images on TN, but not exactly about this species.

Photo: taken in my beloved Fota Arboretum in April 2015. Shutter priority exposure mode, flash, macro lens, in Photoimpact moderate cropping, color adjustment, after re-sizing noise reduction on the background and selective sharpening on the cone.

I truly wish everyone (including myself) to learn about Nature and Photography as much in 2016 on the pages of TN (and elsewhere, too) as in 2015 or before. Cheers!

Hello Laszlo, and congratulations on a New Species.
Tac sharp focus revealing exceptional detail and color. Great use of flash and just the right amount of exposure. The vertical framing worked out perfectly in this instance. Love the beautiful blue sky as a BG. We are off to a good start as this is the first time I have ever seen this particular species. Great presentation!
It's cold and windy this first day of the New Year here in Ohio.

Hello Laszlo
A nice close up of this intricate larch cone. It's interesting that some cones point toward the sky and other point toward the ground depending on the species of Conifer. Colour, sharpness and Composition is great. Happy New Year! TFS Janice
