The depth of green is fantastic, with a tiny bit of purple thrown in for interest.

I do pay attention to the framing although not always consciously!
And the fern grew the detail!
I do agree: the colors are wonderful!

Part of having "the eye," I think, is intuitively composing and framing a picture before it becomes a picture. To see a scene as a potential photograph is really neat, inspirational even and gratifying to run that scene through all the mechanics and electronics and digital dooby-dos and see your scene on a screen. And you're good at it all.

I cannot remember a more moving tribute to my abilities with a camera than yours.
Thank you.
