I prefer this to the last , a fine shot.

I too prefer this one, only minor nit is the hot spots on the lower leaves from the flash (is there a slight colour cast in the blacks? Magenta-ish)

Thanks for the comments, chaps. Here is a repost with magenta adjusted. I've been outside to check the fern and it does look a closer match. Thanks Phil.

These must be a nightmare to get right. the colour looks difficult, the DoF to get the legs in enormous. you've done really well with this and I prefer it to the first one.
Tese always make me think war of the worlds whenever I see one and it' a sure sign that autumn is here when they pop up all over the place.
