The just emerging fern crozier in the early spring resembles the bishop's staff for which it's named before it unfurls.

Plant(s)
Asplenium bulbiferum — Mother Fern
 
Judges' comments

The image has a strong rhythm and radial composition. The slight lack of focus detracts from the textural aspects.

Judges' comments

The well executed softness in the background enhances the subject matter. The awkward angle creates a static image.

When new vines unfold and dance in circles with exquisite rhythm, it fascinates me!

Judges' comments

The elegant movement creates a graceful image. Judicious cropping of the upper right would strengthen the image.

Judges' comments

The skillful use of lighting illuminates the well focused bud. Less of the flower would strengthen the intended focal point of the bud.

Happiness emerging one petal at a time.

Judges' comments

This is a bold and striking composition. The dominant and harsh background light creates a flattened focal point.
