As I began to compose this shot I noticed the background was falling off too quickly. Taking the right flash off the bracket I hand held it up and back of the foreground thereby illuminating the fern blades in the background. The first couple of times I wasn't in alignment with the lens polarizing filter and the blades were hot (reflective glare from the flash, almost white), tilting it back and forth then checking the LCD I was able to keep the glare off.
I've always loved tree ferns, well, ferns in general. Their gentleness and the way the uncurl themselves into life have always warmed my heart. Then there's the story of the dark haired girl and the five fingered fern in 5th grade, I'll save that one for later.
