Merry-go-round
Posted by Marilla (Turku, Finland) on 7 November 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
These ferns are having good time in the cottage garden: they have a carousel of their own.
All feedback is welcome!

Beautiful shot! I like the 'circles'. Beautiful dof and angle. Great title :)

@Anina: Thanks, Anina! The colours are quite pale but that's the way they were.

You have framed and focused on nature's merry-go-round very well. The colours are really gorgeous- so soft and peaceful

@Kiwisa: Thank you, Kiwisa! I think the ferns were very odd - I haven't seen this 'carousel' before.
@Krisu: Kiitos! Uusi näky minullekin tämä kotkansiipien muodonmuutos.

@daniela scharnowski: I thought it was a bit too pale but I didn't want to change the colours. I'm pleased that you liked it too!

very interesting shot. I really need to look more closely at ferns!

@Wayne: Yes, you must do so! They are lovely in the spring and they change a lot during the summer.
Anita Bower from United States
Good job. I like the repeating pattern, and the frame you created.

@Thea: Thank you, Thea! It's a fern but not the wild one - this grows in gardens. I don't remember its Latin name but the straight translation from Finnish is "the wing of an eagle"!
@Pierre: Thank you, Pierre!

Luonnon kauniita yksityiskohtia, joita mielellään katselee. Tässäkin tuntuu olevan kaikki kohdallaan rytmi sekä väri.

@Pehmyt piirto: Totta, tässä oli todellakin rytmiä. Noita kiehkuroita oli useampiakin, mutta oli pakko yrittää saada kuvatuksi edes tämä yksi.
