Beautiful exposed image of this lacy Staghorn fern. Gorgeous light and colours. Wonderful challenge - sunset of life example, Pam.
For challenge critique purposes only, I would maybe try and crop some off the top and clone whatever was left of the other frond but still a gorgeous image as is.
I didn't realise it was a challenge, from that point of view I'd try cropping just a little off the right hand side and top. I'm not sure if it would improve it until I saw it :-)
Look at all that detail and superb design! Humans can only attempt to copy what they see. I am always humbled when I see such marvelous displays. Very nice
