I was hoping for a pixie, but had to make do with a fly on top. :smile:

Canon 5D with Sigma 150, 4 images focus stacked, each at f4.5, 1/20, ISO 50, MLU, cable release.

All C+C welcomed.

Lovely shot Matt!
Like the graduated BG and the fly is a bonus!

You should have found a toad to put on top of it. Great shot Matt.

Excellent shot. The fly is very apt considering the name of the toadstool.

Very nice indeed Matt! Super detail and dof, and the fly on top is the icing.

Cracking image! I like the diagonal ring and moss up the side. Great use of stacking.
