Not quite a "Silver Fern" I just liked the sunlight on the fern, I'm not sure what processing to do to this so if you have any suggestions on how to tweak it. This version is sooc.

Re: NZ Fern
To me this is two photos in one. It is very nice but overwhelming, if that is the word for it...you either crop out/off some from the top or just show half of the lower fern at the bottom.. Both are good specimens on its own. I don't know how to express this ... I will not do any edits on this if this is mine...just cropping.

Re: NZ Fern
Striking color and contrast but I have to go with Izzie's comments on crop as its hard to tell whether to view this as forest, with foreground fern, or fern with background forest. (But... maybe that is a conundrum intended for the viewer?)
I would think in terms of cropping off the top to bring it to about 8x10 (portrait), and bringing up the shadows a bit and if possible toning down some of the more pronounced highlights in the background, and seeing how that looks.Last edited by Downrigger; 7th May 2014 at 02:07 PM.
