#14: Extreme cropping

High Lonesome Nature Reserve

This is a very close crop of a larger image, showing the sori on the underside of a wood fern, Marginal Wood Fern (Dryopteris marginalis) I believe. Sori are tiny dots containing the spores of the ferns. This is for the "Extreme cropping" topic of the challenge.

This is so cool, I've never noticed these before, now I'll have to go out back and examine all our fern leaves. V

That's remarkably sharp for an extreme crop, yielding an image that is 'extremely' informative and attractive.
