spruce final images

This is the second try for this spruce, Picea abies. I think the wooden board looks better than the table. And the colors are better and the images are shaper. I have used Nikon D200 with 60/2.8 f 11. Before it was 50/1.8 with f 11. Interesting that a macro lens is better in this case than the so called 'best' regular lens.

Of the three I prefer the first one. This I will probably enter for the WBFF photo contest.
The spruce on the stone will go to Paris for the big car show in two weeks.
