The fern is the star, here, so might consider a square crop to eliminate the tree and flowering plant in the BG. The color and tones look nice, Ronald.

Colours are fine and the image is well processed, but the composition is a bit chaotic. A real centre of interest is lacking.

I like the nice mix of elements. Well done as is. Maybe a touch of highlight glow? :toast:

I like this image, Ronald. Your large version is especially interesting to look at. My eyes just want to explore all the elements of the scene and enjoy them. I also think your processing looks great! Nice work on this... :toast:

I'm a huge fern fan, and this is great. I think the background is essential to helping the fern stand out, but I would crop just a little more off the top to minimize it.
