[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a new Hard Fern (Blechnacaea) just starting to open, they grow in most wooded areas here in Cornwall but are rare in the middlands of England, they like a acid soil.
I had to take this shot as its the first new fern of this type i have seen with a red stem, i have done nothing to the colour so this is exactly as it is growing :-)

What a nice shot, I love the colours and droplets, very detailed and artistic photo.
Best wishes,

artistic work with contrast of colours between fern and bg, aesthetic curve of fern, drop, tight cadrage...
i wish u was use polarizer filter for controlling reflections on wet surface..

Lovely shot, Trevor.
Very artistic composition.
I like the contrast between that bright red stem, and the beautiful green BG. The details in the fern and the water drop are excellent.
TFS. : )

Hi Trevor,
I like the framing and the vivid colours contrast. The presence of water droplets is a plus.
I'm just not very enthusiastic as regards the black and grey frame. Nice shot.

This is amazing how nature can be viewed so artistic. Great composition, great Pov and BG, great colors, super done water details,this seems like a real art photo.Well done!
Only the fraim is too much, you should use only black because grey and red are not the contrast colors they don't go good together!

Wooow ! What a wonderful and interesting macro that you have well done ! The composition is smart, colors are vivid, DOF and sharpness are very good ! The red stem and droplets are excellent.
In my opinion the black frame is enough, try without the grey rectangular ;-)
Congratulations Trevor and thanks for sharing.

Excellent capture. Perfect DOF and detail. I like the composition very much.

Great work

Really detailed and well composed.
Good colors,
Andrea

excellent capture, the colours are amazing.

I agree with the above comments, just the balck for the broder and possibly not quite as thick, something more delicate to suit the nature of the fern....

Hi Trevor,
excellent colours and details, and the light very well chosen and managed. Perfect capture of great beauty.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter

vewry interesting shot

Hello Trevor, very nice composition, color 'combination' including background. I would 'convered' an initial shot to a bit darker image via levels (?). This fern 'head' reminds me a bishop's crozier, so fantastic 'parallels' fro...my mind!
Ilya
