Morning dew on a fern plant

[ 105mm - f/5.0 - 1/100 - ISO640 ]

A close-up of morning dew on the green leaves of a fern plant, against a dark background. I used a fairly large aperture to limit depth of field and to blur the detail in the dark background. I shot this macro on a September morning while hiking in a forest near where I live.

    I like the composition, the shadows cast on the fern leaves and use of DOF Johan
