John - this is a soft and “gentle” image, with just enough definition in the ferns to have good interest. The darker and lighter greens work well together.
Very nice!

I have just two words for you John: Oh Yummm

Okay, well a few more… just lovely, and feels so refreshing & restful in all this heat and turmoil. Makes me want to just gaze at it.
