 Deodar(?) Cedar cones and needles in late-afternoon sun, "telephoto macro" to to get shallow DOF.

I'm curious to see if anyone* uses the title as a clue to see that, by anthropomorphosizing the cones this could, in fact be interpreted as "landscape." FWIW, the alternate title was Prison Break (after the TV show); even the crossed blurry branches in the BG could be cell bars or a gate.

*Besides maybe posthumous ;-)

I don't really get the title, (maybe it looks like one is walking in front of the other?) but I like the photo.

Technically good photograph, but somehow the composition doesn't say anything TO ME
