Pine Needles Straddling a Branch

There's a log I love to check for mushrooms, and though I didn't find any, I stopped for a moment to just look around at the world. Peering up, I saw an interesting sight! Pine needles from a branch above had gotten stuck on the branch below and they looked like people straddling a log!

I was originally going to make this my Picture of the Day, but after processing the Oak leaves, I thought this image is just a bit too muted to take center stage. What do you think? I love the leading line and interesting position of the pine needles, but...the bright, cheery color of the Oak leaves steal the show in my opinion.

The oak leaves are more visibly arresting, but I think ultimately this provides more for contemplation. A beautiful and subtle image, Janet. Seen in www.ipernity.com/group/prime-lenses.
