Remarkable, encouraging to persist whatever happens. Contrasts sharply with Soodabeh's tree but tells the same message to us!

Still alive despite its location and danger for being crushed, well done!

This is a long story in one photo! The tender green between the rocks, it's a delicious find!

Shahab, very nice capture. I would love to see what this would look like as a higher contrast B&W too.

I agree with Rob. This shot in BW will have more visual impact IMO.
Clever eye! Keep going Shahab.

I like this little green delicate plant - with the brown/tans/gray rocks.
I like the IDEA of black and white - but i don't think there will be enough contrast to really notice the plant in-less you leave the plant green.

Even in the stoniest, most unlikely places, those green living things find somewhere to live, very nice shot

If theres a will, theres a way. If something remains strong, it shall progress - just like a persons spirit.
Fab shot and if a person is feeling down, they have remember this little strong plant.

Very nice statement that you've made with this picture. It reminds me of my favorite book "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn".
"There's a tree that grows in Brooklyn.
Some people call it the Tree of Heaven. No
Matter where its seed falls, it maes a tree which
struggles to reach they sky. It grows in boarded-up
lots and out of negleted rubbish heaps. It grows
up out of cellar gratings. It is the only tree
that grows out of cement. It grows lushly...
survives without sun, water, and seemingly without
earth. It would be considered beautiful except
that there is are too many of it."

@Shrig: Beautiful book it must be!Thanks for your time & your kind words.

Beautiful, the green really stands out, wish there was some perspective here, but still a great shot!

nice texture. Everything is so sharp and clean, might have been the bed of a spring or river!?

@Hamid: Just at the side of a river.Thanks!
