Hi,

Tried for the wider image here, not my usual style with fungi and didn't quite nail the DoF. Absolutely no gardening done, as found... but still pleased and hopefully the weather will allow a return tomorrow to see if I can get it right.....

All the best

Phil

Hi Phil,
I really like these type of images showing the toadstools in their habitat,with this one being no exception.
Especially like the slight gold tinge to the agarics caps and the area of sunlight falling on the woodland floor in the background.

I like this a lot Phil. The colours are complimentary to the subject and I think the DOF suits this particular image very well. Nicely done

Hi Phil

Looks good to me - nice to see them in their setting. Looks as though they have a bit more 'growing' in them and definately worth a retun visit!

Great to see this little fellas in the wider environment. Love how the middle distance is sunlit. I'd crop a tiny bit off the top to eliminate those green bits creeping into the frame.

Gorgeous shot - this is the type of toadstool shot I've been trying to get, but so far have failed miserably! Good stuff.
