SUMMER GOLD

Yes, I'm foisting yet another fern pic on you. (And I even know the name of this type: fiddle head fern. It's new branches unfurl at the ends from a delightful roundness that is about the shape and size of a fiddle's head.) "Summer Gold" (6-20-16 004v4) is a brand new pic just fussed with now. It had a lot of distracting stuff down in the below/background that was fortunately mostly white or greyish so I could readily change the color to black. And I had a lovely time bringing out the sort of "wavyness" of the fern points using diffuse and sharpen. I also did a wee bit of blurring that resulted in the vaguely painting-like effect. I often take shots of dying green flora tangled in it's healthier surrounds. It's a contrast I like looking at, but don't usually get a good pic of. The word "tangled" being the clue there; there's always so much going on in a shot like that (at least in any I've taken). BTW, to really see the detail, click on the image for a larger version.
