technically -

Voted 9/10

the conifers in the center are not pines, they're spruce or fir (same family, different genera). Pines have much longer needles attached in clusters.
Most (all?) of the bare trunks are birches. This photo illustrates a common succession - birches colonize a clearing but spruce will grow up through them.
