[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A young Sundew just unfolding after breaking through the litter on the forest floor, an insectivor, it attracts them with a glistening sticky sweet secretion, when an insect gets onto the hair like structures, they enfold and dissolve the nutrient from its prey. This plant is about 2cm across, when mature about 10cm, delicate white flowers grow, the plant dies and re-emerges the following spring,they like a damp sunny position, and carpet the ground on a favoured spot.

Nice picture and a lovely subject.
The details and the colors are really nice. I would have liked a more acurate determination of the species.
Really anice job!

In thumbnail it looks more attarctive hence I did not understand that if it is over exposed or too much sharpend, frame is nice.
