An 'adolescent' Pencil Pine, likely around 600-800 years old. It's common to find very old Pencil Pines (up to 1500 years) amongst glacial scree, where the rock fields protect the tree from bushfires (unlike much of Australia's native trees, Tasmania's endemic conifers have no tolerance for fire).
In the thumbnail I can see a face in the tree on the right. The face appears human or relatively so but has cat-like forward-facing ears. Anyone else see this in the thumbnail? I completely lose the effect in the larger picture.
My first camera at age 16 (1966) was the Minolta Autocord CDS. I was amazed with the clarity of the images and this image proves my point. The sharpness here is absolutely revelatory and most satisfying, especially due to the subject matter. The exposure seems to be spot on. - David Lyga
@nick_clark Like all such "faces" you either see them or you don't. It is only in the thumbnail that the face appears for me. I think this must have something to do with the compression in a thumbnail
