Very interesting looking plant here, Paul. All the vertical leaf columns almost seem to hold the same amount of buttons or pods too. Might be interesting to see if they ever held the same count. :wink:

Very cool. Interesting subject and strong composition. Excellent except for one small nit: I wish there was enough depth of field to hold the focus on more of the subject, because even the edges seem to be an important part of the composition that I want to explore when I inspect the intricate details.

The parallel rows of Sori are very interesting. I would love to see this with all of the leaves and sori in focus. Nicely seen.
