Koru

The Koru is a symbol familiar to all New Zealanders. It is used in a stylised form on the tail of our national airline. They are immature fern leaves that unfurl as they develop and grow.

Beautiful, Mark. The lighting on the 3rd one is spectacular.

You have constructed 3 excellent images. The tones in the background perfectly complement the main subject and each of them has, what I would call, a gloriously understated feel. And it goes without saying that the detail in each of them is superb.

wow, what can I say - simply beautiful :) There is so much detail in the first and third images, the longer you look the more you see! And, as Donald said, the lighting in the third shot is fantastic.
