Some saturation and contrast boost would look nice on this.  ...or maybe even a black & white conversion to accentuate texture, while making the background darker. there's always possibilities. have fun. 5DmkII | 24-70 f/2.8L II | Pentax 645Z | 55/2.8 SDM | 120/4 Macro | 150/2.8 IF

Apr 28, 2010 12:20 | #4 I did convert to BW and it looks great. Thanks for the feedback. I have a grey card and appreciate the links to learn on how to properly use it to set white balance.

We don't eat these ones, they are Sword ferns, but the Fiddleheads ferns come up tall and singular, and the curly bits on those are delicious in a salad or deep fried! you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.
