  I think there was a beam of sunlight coming through the trees to give that effect. Posted 6 years ago

    Lol, you're clearly not a classic photographer. You should have said that you planned the shot for the golden hour, waited for ideal conditions for a week and then carefully composed it at exactly the right moment.
    
    Instead, you were honest that it kind of happened to you. To be clear, appreciate that :) Posted 6 years ago

      You've got me laughing here, Ferdy! Yes, it did just happen. I was more intent on getting the focus right especially on the elongate leaf tips. I did wait a week (it was the last detail on my schedule) to go to that spot not see the ferns but to spend some time in a spruce swamp looking for Pyrola minor (which I did find).
