Sequoia Cone

I've spent the afternoon trying to get my shot for Camera School and I'm still not happy with what I've got. I need a B & W shot taken with specific camera settings. So I've taken a break and chosen one of the shots I've taken so far for my blip.

This is a giant sequoia pine cone and considering how huge these trees can grow their pine cones are tiny. This one is only about 4-5cm long.
