Hi Valerie,
What a beautiful green color! The compsition with the slightly tilted fern is very good. I do like the details showing in the curl of the fern, but I am not that sure about the sharpness enhancement. I am currently at work and want to see it again at home on a better monitor. I do like the light and bright b/g
TFS,

-back home, and it looks much better on this monitor and the sharpness is perfect

Salut Valerie!

Très bel effet monochrome. Bonne netteté et exposition précise. La douce lumière favorise les détails autant dans les ombres que dans les hautes lumières. Et la composition n'est pas en reste non plus. La tête est située sur un des quatre points forts et l'orientation endiagonale de la tige ajoute un peu de dynamisme.

Bravo, très belle image.

Hi Valerie
This is just an amazing close-up of the developing fern leave. I love it. The composition is great, the colours are amazingly natural, the details are brilliant, and the exposure was spot-on.
Unfortunately, within a couple of minutes I'll be leaving for Pretoria (±1400 km round trip for the weekend). So, I do not have time to do a proper critique and there will be no further TN activities this weekend, but well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Valerie,
strikingly beautiful document of growth in nature, taken with great empathy. Slight dust removal or further softening on background might be tried, but all together: colours, details, composition, light - just perfect!
Thnak you. Best regards,

Hi Valerie
Fern are common to my village.We have two kinds of ferns the gentle and the wild.
In my village we called it gentle fern and its verry tall.The wild is short,dense and more beautiful in my opinion
I pass meny hours inside the forest resting on them.
Very beautiful plants.
Excellent shot of this litle fern which trying to grow fast.

Bonjour Valérie,
Cette tête de fougère sauvage que nous retrouvons beaucoup de ces temps-ci dans tous les marchés de fruits et légumes, est connues sous l'appellation "Tête de violon". On en fait une grosse consommation.
Mais, est-ce la même espèce que celle sur votre photo? je ne saurais dire.
Belle photo et excellente idée. Bravo à vous.

JN.

Bonjour Valérie,
Cette fougère en pleine résurrection après l'hiver est magnifique. Joli cadrage et beaux tons de vert.
J'aime également la luminosité de l'arrière plan.
Bravo pour cette belle prise de vue (parmi tant d'autre d'ailleurs!).
Amitiés.
Emmanuel

This is amazing, what a fabulous stage of development you caught this in. I love your note too.
Did you know that when these ferns are just coming out of the ground you can eat them? Soak in water for a few days first and rinse many times. We call them Fiddle Heads, Yummy!

Hi, Valérie
Lovely shot you got here.
The vertical crop is very appropriate and the green a delight.
The bohek is perfect!
(if this is what you achieve with a P&S, I can imagine the results you will get with a DSLR)

Hello,
I like it wery much in your portfolio, because i hve never seen this type of plant, it's look like a seahorse, and i love them very much, and the tone of green is well done, because the background and the main object are same colour, what a good contrast it is! Congrats...
bye
