Contrasts on an aging fern

Contrasts Challenge

Blechnum novae-zealandiae, or "Kiokio", as it is known in its Maori name,
is a New Zealand native fern, a common species bearing oval fertile and sterile fronds.
I have always enjoyed taking photos of ferns,
and especially when the plants grow like this, showing off their different stages of life

Love the textures between the still green and the dried part of the fern. Great eye to see this and compose it so well.
