    Fern House

    This is a fern display hot house at a local arboretum in PA. I was drawn by the shapes and angles.
    C&C please.

    I like the idea of this shot but it does seem a bit busy. There are a lot of angles and lines and they don't particularly lead us anywhere.

    I think it needs a focal point. Just too much with nothing real to focus on.

    Agree, my eye bounces all around with nothing to land on. Perhaps a tighter DoF would have helped? Is this Brandywine? (grew up in SE PA and it looks familiar.)

    Agree with others. See the potential in the lines and shape but just too busy and my eyes can't find a spot to lock on to.

    Thank you all for your comments, I tend to agree.
    BTW this is the fern house at The Morris Arboretum on the outskirts of Philly.
