I really didn't shoot the pitcher plants today like last week, but I played around with the ferns a bit.

Interesting composition, very graphical. It seems a bit soft though...probably web sharpening is to blame. Nice shot.

Nice composition, Jack. Really like the large drop of water at the base of the top right leaf. Adds a bit of tension to the image. Agree with Joel that there's a processing issue here. My initial thought was oversharpening, but I'm not sure.

Check out the weekly challenge forum for a shot from Linda's rose garden.

I over sharpened it on purpose... wanted more of an artsy look vs. real life. Just playin around!

I am told these are cinnamon ferns (although I've only photographed them in November as they change color). I think the "cinnamon" seed stalks should be up by now - about 2 ft high. The picture was from Triangle of those ferns in November.
