Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Letharia vulpina

 
Original - The lichen Letharia vulpina photographed on Pseudotsuga macrocarpa at Mt. Gleason, San Gabriel Mountains, California, USA.
Reason
Recently failed a FPC nom here, but I still think it's a good picture- both aesthetically pleasing and encyclopedic. I like the colours, and it looks good at full resolution. Has been the lead image of the article since its creation just over a month ago.
