Palmetto Blush

From the series, Beyond the Barbs by John Stokes

Nikon D40. 55-200 at 120mm. July 21st. 10:17am.
Shutter speed 80 at 4.8. ISO 200. Cloudy white balance. Center weight.

This palmetto frond against the large oak tree was at the edge of the eagle and deer trails, just before leading into my favorite swampy area.

The way the frond hugged the tree in a shy like fashion was what caused me to stop. I liked the play of the dappled light in the shadows under the canopy.
