Springs Beckoning

I shot this the other day while out teaching a client about DOF, a handheld shot, I probably could have used more focus and a tripod but hard to work on my own stuff with a client.Though this was a grab shot but something about it appealed to me it was almost as if this fern was curling it's finger and beckoning me to come closer.

I think this is beautiful. I really like the focus where it is.

This one works Lorna. Although I might tempted to increase the brightness/luminosity of the LLC to around the same values as the ULC.

Lorna, have you tried a vertical version? The details seem very nice and could be pleasant to see them closer. Anyway, I like the photo.
Take care.

I like the feeling of mystery associated with the DOF chosen Lorna.

I think the focus is just perfect to capture the character of this fern and the BG is just right, too.
