No, it's not really NZ's national emblem, but a part of a bracken frond which had gone a lovely silvery-grey colour. I was trying out my velvet 56 Lensbaby and trying not to breathe while I focused...
Looks like your moving into a more artistic area of photography with this new macro lens Dianne, I look forward to what you can capture playing with the tilt and bokeh blades, I did considered the old basic model the new one may need to be considered, Lovely first image by the way:)
