unanswered prayer

The composition and balance here are great, but I am most impressed by the colors. By the thumbnail, this almost appears to be a B&W photo, but full-size you are immediately struck by the vibrant but subdued oranges and blues, making for a sort of natural sepia effect. Technicalities aside, this is also a very intense photo, the mood hangs around it like a fog. I am curious about the pine cones -- could these be a bit of hope on an otherwise grim canvas? Marvelous work.

thank you for your comments
