Greeting Zsú

Hola Ena, en primer lugar muchas gracias por tu buen trabajo con mi coleóptero; realmente a mejorado y se aprecia mucho mejor el color. He de decirte que soy bastante torpe con PS :-)

Tu toma preciosa, esa planta existe aquí también. Buen encuadre y formato de presentación, aunque algo subida de luz.

Un abrazo desde España: J. Ignasi Tejedor.

Hola Ena
refrescante imagen y detalles,
bello color y nitidez,
saludos

Nice color, great clarity and technical quality.

I know I've seen a similar species of this plant in the western United States before and think I've photographed it to but I have no idea how to relocated those pictures to share with you.

I take pictures of plants because they look good to me. Most of the time I don't know what they are. :)

We used to have Maidenhair Fern as pot plants at home - they seem to be out of fashion now! I killed a few through over or under watering!! I could never work out what the fault was!
But this reminds me how beautiful they are.
Lovely to see it growing 'wild' Ena, and especially with the water drops on it.
Thank you
Janice

Hi Ena

Not only the fern, but the whole picture and the expression it generates are delicate. I like the unity of the color tones and the simple, yet very pleasant subject, well put on stage. The little droplest add to the interest of the picture.

Kind regards

Markus
