So much of the photographic experience is about perspective. Post a comment to this entry and tell me what you think this is and how you think the picture was taken.

I think over again my small adventures,
my fears;
Those small ones that seemed so big.
For all the vital things I had to get and reach.
And yet there is only one great thing.
The only thing.
To live to see that great day that dawns
and the light that fills the world.

Like the spider with its web, so every subject weaves relationships between itself and particular properties of objects; the many strands are then woven together and finally form the basis of the subject’s very existence.

It’s a picture of a pine tree taken from the tip of a branch looking in at the tree, I like how the background and foreground are out of focus
I shouldn't have read James' comment, but my answer was the similar anyhow. It's a photo of a conifer tree, possibly a hemlock or spruce from the shortness of its needles, taken from the tip of the branch looking towards its trunk. The focus is directed towards the middle of the branch, making both the needles that are closest to the camera lens and truck in the background fuzzy. It does not appear to me that a macro lens or setting was used while taking this photo.
It looks like the branch of a real (not artifical) christmas tree. You can see down the branch to the connectng "joint" that it has to the trunk. Doesn't look like you used macro here, because the needles closest weren't in focus. I think the real focus was further down the branch. And the trunk seems less out of focus just from the distance I think.
This is a spruce tree (not sure if it is a blue or not). Shot taken straight on, looking from outside tip in toward center, however it is not the topside of the branch it is the underside of it, then flipped over to look as if it is the top.
Like I have said I do not really know much about all of the specific settings on cameras and how they work although Chapter 1 did explain a lot to me I still have not tried it and checked it out myself and that is how I learn. This photo reminds me of my tree with little pine cones in my flickr except for the fact that you can see the trunk so I do agree with everyone else about the photo being taken from the tip of a branch in.
I would have to agree with everyone else it is a tree branch, I would guess it is balsam same as a christmas tree. I would say the focus was on the branch not the trunk. Also, it looks as though you were looking up at the branch not down on it. I say this because of the way the branch curves on the trunk.
This picture makes me miss Vermont so bad! I used to have tons and tons of spruce (i think) trees in my yard growing up. It looks like the picture was taken from the underside of the branch because of the upside down curve of the other branches. I think the perspective of this photo would be cool even if it was not upside down. Taking it from the tip of the branch in makes it much more interesting. Nice job!
I wish I posted earlier in the week, because this will sound repetitive. I love where you chose to focus on the branch of this pine. Sadly I have not a clue what kind of pine, and I didn't notice the downward curve of the branch. Nice shot, and good observations.
I agree with all the other answers. It is a pine tree branch of some sort with the picture taken from the end in towards the trunk. The focus area is more towards the trunk so the end of the branch closest to the camera is out of focus.
I think the photo is the tip/end of a branch on a pine tree. It was taken either from a ladder or a window where this tree grew near to it. The depth of field is in the foreground but slightly off center, which can be created by by having the focus weighted on the right-side (as in this photo).
Great work - yes I was walking and I put my camera on the branch of a tree. It was set to auto and I'm pretty sure it was set to macro...because I was taking macro shots all that day as I walked down the road. My macro lens will not let me get any closer that 6 inch and be in focus. It has between 6-12 inch focal length.
This is a pine tree and I think it was taken looking down from the tip of the branch. very neat picture:)
