Just ready for picking Tom ! Yumm yum !
Very dramatic but a liitle bit tight in the frame at the sides for me.
Cheers

Hi John,
As you can see on the previous post there are an orange and a white spot on the left and right of the mushroom. I try to avoid that this time, so he gets a little narrow in his frame. It's again the choice between making the photograph or doing some photoshopping afterwards. I do agree it's a little tight on both sides.
Sometime I''ll have to learn something. :smile:
Thanks.

it's amazing how they change in such a short space of time.

There's not mushroom in the frame, :biggrin: but a really nice example nonethless.
