Tree Fungus

Went out for a walk in the woods the other day. Found these little orange mushrooms growing on the side of a tree.
They positively glow in the dimly lit forest.

Cloned out a few little dirt specks.

Thanks for looking

Nice job, great light. I photographed some of these yesterday...but didn't get as good of a result.

I really like the graphic quality of this image as well as the glowing orange colors and detail.

Joel:
Lovely graphical image with lots of texture. The strands of web connecting the mushroom guide the eyes to explore the whole image. Well done

Awesome textures, colors and composition. The little bits of spider silk add a cool element

Well lit and nice job filling the frame. I also like the bits of spider web. A very clean and well executed photograph.
