Lovely image, Ronald - crisp rendering of the ferns and a very effective free composition; the scattering of white flowers is a nice bonus.

Beautiful combination of green fern with tiny white flowers. The very well-chosen tight crop eliminates all unwanted distractions. Well done Ronald. :smile:

Well seen and composed image, Ronald. The tiny white flowers scattered throughout the image provide a great complement to the ferns.

Ronald - Ferns are great subjects both for close-up and environmental photography. I like your capture here - very good isolation for a meaningful pattern and the tiny white blooms complement the scene so nicely.

Nicely done! These are tough scenes to fit within the frame…cropping issues…and trying balance and size that best suits your subject. The crop looks splendid… Lovely dainty flowers amidst the fresh large ferns. And dark forest floor give it all a bounce of contrast.

Ron: This is very well seen and very nicely composed. The larger version is a must see to appreciate better the small flowers. Well done.>=))>
