First mushroom shot of the year. Somehow they're all a little late this season where we are.

Thanks for looking.

Des

200mm macro, 1/250s, f5.6, iso200.

Beautiful fungi shot. The combination of sharpnes and blur is indeed very nice. Very well done. :smile:

very nice Des, well composed. I'd perhaps reduce the saturation a little but otherwise I like it a lot.

Yes, a lovely shot Des, really like the texture of the shrooms, very nicely mushed too.

Matt - thanks for the feedback, although I'm incline to leave it as is because I've already toned it down a little prior posting. I think it's the evening light that makes it so rich.
