Is really a pity. Love the color harmony, nice composition, and good frame, like excellent clarity and good DOF. Great details and sharp focus. Good job

It's amazing how nature can regenerate life after a devastation like this fire. Within a few years it's back to normal. Nice shot showing these plants coming back. Can see that they are greening up and will soon be back to normal. Good shot that tells a story Mary. Thanks for sharing it.

Wonderful, so good to see some green and Mother Nature is working her magic to regenerate life in the burned area. Good frame, focus and exposure to show the new life in progress.

Isn't Mother Nature resilient? The fires have devastated your part of the world. People and plants will come back.... but what devastating losses.

Your shot is quite powerful. The ground and background are so telling. This well-focused shot tells quite a story. The DOF tells more. Well done.

Comment from OLIVER23
I still find this tree or plant or whatever to be most interesting just because they are so different from anything I know of as a tree. There are the cyclads but this is better than them because they all look like modified palm trees, maybe the starter variety. The image is well composed and deep in tones and colors. Nice work!
