Very interesting shot. I have not seen this kind before and am glad that you posted this. The image is saherp and the exposure well balanced.

Very good shot Christian.
Nice colours and good details.
The drops make it little extra.
Informative note.
Well done.

A very good Fomitopsis for the collection. You did very well with the exposure. It would be nice to know your aperture and speed & the drops are perfect. Thanks Christian.

Brilliant as usual, the water droplets are greata and they add extra to an already great shot.
