A very nice subject. Excellent details and colors. I like the off center composition and the nice clean background. Nicely done. :smile:

Great job with this mushroom. Good color contrast with the greenery.
I assume the 330mm using a 300mm lens refer to the FL taking the crop factor into consideration.
