Hey John this is such a great arrangement of what I think are Ostrich fern fronds. The way you have the diagonals lined up and the different lighting is really dynamic for such a static shot, if you know what I mean. Lots of soothing green and velvety texture. Cant think of much to improve except maybe a touch of micro contrast…maybe just in the light green?

John, a great composition; with even the BG green the balanced contrast of right and left sides makes this for me.

Nice image here John. I love the line up of fern fronds and the BG is nice to set the textures off. Great one for this week’s challenge.

Hi John, when I first saw the image, I’ve seen the space between the fern leaves. The contraste between the leaves is manage nicely and the composition well balance. Maybe a bit more of detail in leaves will have been nice, lly everything I can say about the image. Well done.
