The Language of Leaves

In a woodland yesterday evening beneath the canopy of trees, a single shaft of light revealed this moment of quiet beauty.The delicate fronds of bracken, glowing softly against the shadowed forest, felt like nature’s own brushstrokes, intricate, fragile, and timeless.

Nice. I often love to look at ferns, but pictures of them fall flat. Do you recommend looking for light like this (or faking it with flash) so the background can be in shadow or completely black?

Thanks a lot, personally I prefer to use natural light...
