JEWEL FOREST HIDEOUT

CAUTION: MOBILE PHONE PIC!
In Australia we call these maiden-hair ferns,though what they’re called elsewhere I have no idea. They’re delicate and tend to prefer cool corners of the forest. I photographed this one with a mobile phone and deliberately included the little fern’s immediate neighbors.

Samsung Galaxy 2, ISO200, -1EV, no flash, 1/40sec at f2.6.

Barry: When I first glanced at the thumbnail I thought this was going to be from Ken Smith. Take that as the high compliment intended. Love the color palette and comp. The camera doesn't matter so much if you have good vision. Well done.>=))>

Barry - Lovely lighting/processing there to highlight the many tiny leaves of the Ferns. The surrounding is dark enough to be bothersome.

Like Bill, I too thought this might be Ken's.
