A beauty Phil. Fantastic detail. Lovely setting and beautiful BG. Not much more could you want (although obviously you do). Will be watching with interest next year :smile: :wavey:

Thats a beuty Phil. Exposed well and like the different angle along with the stark contrast between subject and surroundings.

Lovely detail, colours and tone throughout. Good exposure and processing. Something to aspire to.

Terrific shot, the mushroom is superb with a splendid setting and background. :toast:

Technically superb Phil, but the BG looks weird/surreal to me. :confused:

Saw this a while back, dunno why I didn't comment :confused: Better late than never I guess.

Anyways, I like it ! Nice clean b/g with good complimentary colour. Nice one Phil.

Off to play catch up now :biggrin:
