The warm color of the foliage against the black is very appealing, more so for me than your previous post. Consider off-setting the tree away from center a bit?

Those charred trunks and colorful ferns play nicely off of each other. Sweet comp as usual.

Beautiful, Preston. I love the warm tones of the ferns against the charred tree.

Preston, Another beauty from here. The colors look great and really are so nice together. I like the contrast that the chard tree brings to this and also like your comp very much. Very nice!

I sure like how the orange ferns and burnt tree grab my attention but then it moves to the young greens and the forest in the background and returns. Well seen.

I love the contrast of the tree against the rest of the scene, and rich, eloquent, pastel color palette.

Excellent color contrast combos here, Preston. Lots of detail in the larger version too. Nice work out of an area injured by the fire / lightning strike?....

Its a quiet photo Preston. I like that right now, some quiet. I know it is from a negative which already gives low contrast, so I might push the contrast up just a bit.
