Description
In the dark shadow of a mountainside cliff ... under a thick canopy of black spruce and poplar ... there is a place where the sun touches the forest floor for only moments a day.Yet, in the face of such odds, gentle life flourishes. As the new ferns arrive, their fiddle-head tops unfurl and reach for the elusive light.

lovely! at first i thought it was some seaweed or something taken from an aquarium.. but wow! the semi transparency of the ferns, the shapes.. it just makes you feel a little more alive.

I really like how the light is playing with each stem, plus they look like alien tentacles, which is just cool.

thanks ... if you were to take this shot and triple the gamma level, it's very revealing as to where I shot it
... I under-exposed it by setting an overly fast shutter.

Its called Braken. I have walked the most beautiful rainforests and I love the Bracken fern. Especailly those huge tree ferns with the furry hearts. Great photo.
