[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is close up shot of baby leaf of fern.

Dryopteris filix-mas (Common Male Fern or Male Fern) is one of the commonest ferns of the temperate Northern Hemisphere, occurring throughout much of Europe, Asia and North America. It favours damp shaded areas and is particularly ubiquitous in the understory of woodlands, but also found in shady places on hedge-banks, rocks and screes.

The half-evergreen leaves have an upright habit and reach a maximum length of 1.5 m, with a single crown on each rootstock. The bipinnate leaves consist of 20-35 pinnae on each side of the rachis. The leaves taper at both ends, with the basal pinnae about half the length of the middle pinnae. The pinules are rather blunt and equally lobed all around. The stalks are covered with orange-brown scales. On the abaxial surface of the mature blade develop in two rows 5 to 6 sori. When the spores ripen in August to November, the indusium start to shrivel, leading to the release of the spores.

Hello Marjan,
Wonderful capture.well seen and composed.I liked POV,details,

I like the lines and shapes you chose for you photo. The make a fascinating overal design. I think that touch of contrast, saturation and sharpening would add even more impact to the photo. Thanks for sharing such a interesting picture.
