Thanks for your comments, Bruce. My reaction was similar. Through my view finder, I saw only the patterns of the frond's "leaves," the texture of the main subject, and the water droplets. The background did not register at the time, and it came as a surprise when it jumped out at me on my computer screen.
The background is what it is. I took a few other shots of that fern, and some had much better backgrounds, but the frond did not look the way that I wanted. Perhaps I will go back there after the next rain, and try again. I may even resort to cheating, and bring my own background to place under the frond. <G> Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Mon, Jul 22, 2013 at 8:20 AM, Bruce Walker <[email protected]> wrote: > This is an interesting one, Dan.
