Thanks for comments.

Perhaps in this case a colour version would be best for this subject. The tonal gradations are a little coarse here and the background is too starkly black. The impression one gets is of a horticultural speciem in a lab rather than a fern in its natural habitat.

great composition, i love the negavite space around it, i think the black works well. the black does seperate the plant from where it's traditionally scene, but i think thats the intriguing part. the light on the plant and water is also very pleasing

Absolutley Gorgeous!

What a beautiful and original composition! Magnificant!

Interesting picture, it's different to see this... um... fern in B/W for a change. I like the shadows and the composition and the raindrops and the whole thing.

Thank you all for your comments.

Like Rulian wrote, it was my intention to separate the plant by the black background. This photo of the - uhm, yes - fern, was taken outside. But it could have been a lab... the fern in it's natural habit ;-).

I don't think the black is a problem. The composition is great and I love the water droplets. It's been a while since I have seen this type of... yeah, fern in it's natural habitat. In High School I did a lot of studies of this species, but that's ten years gone now. Great picture!

from what I hear (not firsthand) some of its natural habitats are in B.C. forests and basements! ;-)

So it's found in labs, too? Why not!

Very nice tone and this little drops on the leaf. DDD

Very nice photo and...very good plant! Cheers, Flavio.

Boa!
