Fiddlehead Unfurling

First, I need to say I am totally blown away by all the favs and support during the last few days. Thank you for taking me to PP. I'm still working with Kim Klaussen's homework: what could be simpler? I'm trying to find ways to create negative space in photos that always seem to have greenery in them! Suggestions?
Congrats on the recent pp - well deserved! This is a lovely image -so full of detail and texture
If I'm trying to compose an image with more negative space I tend to pay more attention to the rule of thirds - it helps to get the photo into the right proportions. You can blur the background using your camera settings - or later in photoshop but I find this fiddly.

@elsbels thanks. I keep trying to blur in photoshop but it's not yet coming together for me

There is nothing so fine as an unfurling fern Jane & this has lots of detail.

@elsbels you're well on your way! I've sent you some info in your flickr mail - hope it may be of interest!

Great shot! Are you enjoying Kim's class?

Great detail in this. I'm not good with negative space so can't help you. It took me forever to really fill the screen!!

@twinsplusone Absolutely. I can see I am going to learn a bunch!

@naladka one of the people I follow here sent me a great link on this topic. I can't seem to send it through here but if you want me to, give me your email address

This is great - I guess a less textured background might give you negative space. Grass ? Or something that would completely blur.
