Tim:
Very nice curve. I also find that the lower portion seem to be moving like a corkscrew when one scroll up and down interesting.

Very nice fern picture, Timothy. I love the gracefulness of ferns and have many in my shade beds. You have captured a very unique and interesting perspective of an emerging frond. I like this POV and also find your comp appealing. Great BG also.

Timothy. I have seen three of your images of the ferns and I like your intention and eye. I would like to suggest to you though the use of a tripod to help sharpen the iamges a bit as I feel you are getting some camera shake and it is preventing your images to have that super sharp pop.I do like the iamges but just a suggestion to make them better. :wavey:

Cheryl, I would reckon that I'd better hang it up then. I use a Gitzo topped with an Arca Swiss ballhead and NEVER shoot without it. I would imagine that it has to be my eyesight that fails me. :confused:
