I'm a fern fan and I like this very much. It does seem a bit soft focus (the problem I have with ferns as well) and the background is a bit busy. But I love the shape, color and the brown fringe along the back of the frond.

This is nice, might have benefited from a greater DOF.

I think a little more saturation would have helped out.

Seems a little soft for my taste. I would expect a macro like this to be very crisp

excellent composition, nicely seen. could stand to be a tad sharper, but i imagine it looks just fine large. love the colors. really love how this gives the feeling of spring making a sleepy wake up stretch. hope this does well for you. good luck!

Great shot. The blurred background works well here.

I like this photo. You did a good job with DOF... very abstracty. The golden accents on the fern really add a lot.

Nice subject for a macro. I think that the background is too distracting. Try bringing along a piece of black velvet or foamcore to put behind your subject, essentially a portable background.

Great subject, but IMO needs more details
