Here is a fern image from the Meijer Botanical Gardens, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  The fern is laying over a tree trunk, and I liked the contrast of the two subjects.  Used my Tamron 18-300 with the Fuji X-T30 MKll, shot at f/32.  In Smart Photo Editor I sharpened and click on a filter that added this dramatic lighted look you see. 

Here is the original out of the camera.
