My first foray into flora. Photographed this fern against a white house. Reminds me of a monster face.

If that's not little shop of horrors, I don't know what is! Great first post, Randy. Unfortunately, you forgot to include your specs. Can we have some info, please?

OOPs sorry, my wife was rushing me out the door for lunch.
Exposure: 1/60 sec. @ f8
Focal length: 300mm
ISO: 200
No flash
Tripod
Cloned out a couple of very small growths on the bottom of the stem and some shadow on LLC
Cropped 1/3 from right due to sharp black line.

I do think I see remnants of the clone marks at the bottom left corner and near the stem on the right. You might try using a softer brush next time and blend, blend, blend!

Other than that, I really like this. I'd love to see what happens next as that top frond unfurls!

[Roy Priest]

Julie, the clone marks are visible aren't they. They weren't that noticeable when I first posted it. Thanks for the tip.

Hey Roy,
I may want to tighten it up a bit more but that is my tastes.....definitely little shop of horrors here. Considering you were at 1/60 already.....you did very well with the sharpness Nice first foray!
