Excelent view of this Grisette.
Sounds like a good title for fine dining. Grisette, topped with saute onions and green peppers on the side, bonne apetite.

White mushrooms are extremally hard to capture but yours looks superb. Interesting subject and note. Very well captured textures, detailed and sharp. Nice work Christian!

Beautiful shot Christian. Very nice composition and sharpness.

Hello Christian !
c'est un jolie champignon que tu as pris, j'aime bien la dominance des tons gris qui dominent dans cette composition.
Pour faire le mec chiant :D je dirait que c'est dommage que ta pdc n'englobe pas le pied du champignon.
merci ;)

Taz, Great exposure, excellent details and DOF...Great job on your rooom...Very well done!

Nice photo, Christian. Good detail, BG composition and note. Thank you.

You are lucky to find this imaculate amanitas!!!
Here it seems that we have more insects and slugs waiting for them, I am always frustated to find them eaten :(
You got this imaculate forest ghost perfect for the gallery. Thanks.
