I was unfortunately away for the weekend. I could therefore not critique your photo. Now that I’m back so many good shots were posted that I do not have enough points to hand out to all that deserve it, so sorry. I like this photo and do think it deserved points. Maybe I’ll catch up later.

This is a very nice one Christian, the detail is good ant the colours wondeful. I am surprised with this: although it looks exactly as a Cortinarius Praestans, it looks to have grown from an egg, like amanitas, and cortunarius do not. For the rest is exactly like a Cortinarius, in fact amanitas do not have the viscous cover. I guess it is not an egg, and only looks like it.

Como le he dicho a Carper... llegó la hora de los hongos en Europa!.
Excelente continuacion de la serie de estos ejemplares Christian.
La misma calidad de imagen mencionada anteriormente... solo que el encuadre es un poco centrado.

Comme j'ai dit à Carper... est arrivée l'heure des champignons en Europe!.
Continuation excellente de la série de ces exemplaires Christian.
La même qualité d'image mentionnée précédemment... seulement que le il encadre est un peu centrée.

Your english reads ok to me.
yet another very good image from you Christian. The main view is sharpe and well coloured, while the BG is softer but gives a good feel for the suroundings you find it in.
Sorry out of points for today.
Votre anglais lit bien à moi encore une autre image très bonne de
vous chrétien. La vue principale est sharpe et puits colorés,
alors que le BG est plus doux mais donne une bonne sensation pour
les suroundings que vous la trouvez dedans. Désolé hors des
points pour aujourd'hui.

Christian
This is a very good shot. It is sharp and clear.

le chapeau est tellement luisant qu'on dirait di plastique !
les couleur sont belle et la pdc bien maitriser.
belle representation
