Hello Steve
I think you are staying closeby where they make the movies for children about elves and dwarfs and all that kind of stuff. This colourful fungi belongs in one of those movies. To me this is really something special and has great character to it. Details are displayed well and the greenery that surrounds this vividly coloured "mushroom" adds a special oomph to this image. The colours compliment each other well, and your great photographic skills brought it out to its best. Thanks for sharing this fairytale image.
Kind regards.
Anna

I'm glad your Panasonic Lumix is still intact, Steve. It is a good camera, going by the quality of this macro image of a beautiful fungus.
You have used your headlamp with great skill and it gives the picture a pleasant kind of tone. The fungus is in sharp focus and the surrounding vegetation makes a very authentic background.
Regards.
Ram

Hi Steve,

An exceptionally attractive image! The colors, textures and shapes of the mosses alone would make a fascinating image, but with the red mushroom thrown in for good measure, it becomes an amazing image. Well done!

Really Great capture Steve! The textures on the cap are amazing! I like the composition, DOF, and lighting on this scene! Yes, those Cladonia looks like they will be soon fruiting into the "British Soldier/Lipstick Cladonia that we all know.

Sometimes your photos bring back memories...this one in song "I think I'm turning Japanese" an old song with an enigmatic meaning:-) Very cool for something that looks over baked but only natural! HA!

Hi Steve,
Hygrocybes are always make a photo colorful. Your shot's a perfect example of this. You captured it very well, cap texture and details are simply beautiful, and the use of Your headlight instead of flash was another very good idea (again). Bravo.
Thanks for Your fungi art and the interesting note as always. Friendly regards, László
