it's not as green, but not by as much as i was thinking... i don't know if that made much sense.
here's a detailed shot of a foliage mass, i think i may have damaged older growth by pruning too much - will this heal, or will this remain ugly?

You cut through the growing needles and this will cause them to die back to the next branch. Proper pruning would be to either pinch out the growing tips, remove entire branchlets or cut carefully between the scales (that last one's tough to do and not always successful!)
BTW: Please post the images directly on the forum rather than refer to a bunch of offsite links to impermanent photos. The reason for this is that we are trying to create a helpful archive of questions and answers here that will help future forum visitors.
If you just post a question, and you delete the photo a week from now, it will all become a frustrating series of links to broken images. Someone has to keep monitoring the links and pull the thread when the image is removed.
Feel free to attach your photos in separate posts here at the bottom if you want. Otherwise I'll have to pull the thread, which would be quite useful otherwise.
Regards,
Matt
