This beautiful fern caught my eye while strolling alone through Yosemite Valley very early morning (6:30am or so). From the getgo I shot with black and white in mind. Not quite Ansel, but thought I give it a try. Used a Nikon D100 with 90mm macro lens on tripod. There was a slight wind so this was shot at a more wide open aperture than I would have liked. The fern was isolated from others and perhaps that\'s why I noticed more. So it was me and teh fern. This is the result.
