    Wow Rosalie! The wonderful lighting and depth-of-field make these ferns look three-dimensional. Such a simple scene so easily bypassed you have turned into a thing of beauty. Love the angle of the fronds.

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    Hey Margo – my problem is I don’t bypass much at all so I end up with tens of thousands of pics on my external drive (literally!!) and depending on who I’m with, can drive my companions batty! Thank you for your insightful comment – much apprecated.

  • Dennis Gay

    Dennis Gay

    G’day Rosalie,

    This is a great photograph of light – all else here is secondary.
    What you have done though is use all the other elements to make the light photograph more appealing, with your well thought out composition, selective focus and use of depth of field and the lovely forest colours, tones and contrast.
    Very good and most attractive work!

    Dennis

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    Little digi-dance being done here – Dennis thank you. Pleased you like it – you also, like Kofoed, are hawk-eyed when it comes to light and detail so I value your opinion. I did crop it to accommodate your ‘odd vs even’ rule, and rotated 90 degrees just because I thought it looked more appealing.

  • Imber

    Imber
