When wandering around Errinundra NP before a mountain biking event around Delegate last weekend I came across this nice fern frond.

105mm MicroNikkor 1/80sec @f/11

nice saturation

would be tempted to darken the stuff on lower right to make the B/G all black

That lens is a treasure. Nicely handled.

I agree with the bottom right hand corner needing to be blacked out. This is a piece of art as an image, I like it very much.

When I used to use film I pretty much did all my macro shots with a flash and small aperture, which nearly always gave me a nice black background, thats not always easily acheivable when using natural light. This came one came close to it though, so after a bit of burning in The Gimp, here is the dark backgound

Its amazing how removing such a small amount of the background reduced the image size by more than 75%.

Very nice - quite apt as it's St.Patrick's Day!

Kind of looks like a variety of clover, in a funky kinda way... or is that my sleep deprivation kicking in?

I agree, very very nice with the darker background.
