[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this photo today in a stand of native bush behind my house.

The Koru

The koru shape is a scroll shape and is linked to the New Zealand fern plant. The shoot of the fern has a curled-over tip which unfurls and becomes a fern leaf.

The koru reaches towards the light, striving for perfection, encouraging new positive beginnings.

The koru, represents the unfolding of new life, that everything is reborn and continues. It represents renewal and hope for the future.

PP work in Photoshop Elements 7 utilising Topaz Detail plugin.

Thaks for looking.

Nice - exquisite detail and nicely delivered shallow field of focus. Did you use a tripod for this? The shutter speed is very slow - I will be very impressed if it's handheld!

Nice to see the silver fern in the background.
