Marvelous B&W, Steve. You have inspired me to turn some of my fern shots into monochrome.

Very beautiful approach of the nature, a detail which speaks to us about silence and about peace. I like it, kisses

It can be so easy to miss it. But you've just observed it well. I think that's one of the skills a photographer should have to present something so simple in a way that was not done before. This is one of those shots.

Verry pretty Steve. It is so true that most of us just pass moss by. I actually purchased moss to plant in my garden. Where I live it does not grow at random in many places.

des fougères sur la mousse, traversées de lumière, une photo douce et pleine du charme de la nature.

Fern is a lovely plant, a very old one... It like when it spirals... nice composition.

I like this black and white interpretation of the ferns. I think B&W is a great medium with which to stress form and shapes. Fine image today.

The ferns are so beautifully featured by using black and white. The detail against the shallow dof background is right on. Makes me want to linger.

I really like the delicate details in this shot. Not only in the fern but also in the moss on the tree. Your depth of field choice just adds to the detail...great photo, Steve!

A really strong plant as you can see in your photo, they even grow here like mad! Beautifully composed, I like the diagonal line of the tree.
