Fern Frond
Haven’t had a decent shot for ages and saw this in the garden pm. I find it really hard to get the center of these fronds in focus but was pleased with this one, especially with the background so blurry.
Sony A200 f2.8, ex 1/100, ISO 100 f.l 100mm (macro lens) spot meter, no flash.
Taken in my garden in Innisfail North Queensland.

Beautiful shot! It caught my eye for two reasons….the clarity and are you aware that there is a type of fern (not all are, some are very bad for you) that is edible and very popular in the state of Maine? They call them “fiddleheads”. They are my husbands absolute favorite vegie and every spring we are on the look out for them to hit the food store. ~Jeffrae
