A freshly emerged Fly Agaric. I quite like the way the sunlight is highlighting it against the dark background (but feel free to disagree :biggrin:)

Canon 5D with Sigma 150mm lens. Two images focus stacked, both f5.6, 1/13, ISO 50, MLU, cable release.

Here's a 1000 pixel version.

All C+C welcomed.

Nothing to dislike about it Matt. As you say, the fungi has been well isolated against the background and the exposure looks pretty much spot on.

Nice work Matt and I must try out this focus stacking since I have recently binned all my fungi shots from this year because of the obvious DOF problems.. Still I'll keep practicing..
