Nice shot Jean Michel. Its funny...I usually try to take my forest pictures on overcast days. I find the bright light coming into a dark environment creates too much contrast.
Most of my shots are taken in natural light (no flash) but on darker days.

Me gusta... definitivamente.
Excelente POV Jean Michel que nos permite disfrutar de una imagen con muy buena agudeza y detalles de los hongos.
La iluminación aporta un efecto muy agradable.
Sólo criticaría el uso de F2.8 en este caso... puedes explicarme el motivo?
Buen trabajo.

I like me... definitively.
Excellent POV Jean Michel that allows us to enjoy an image very good sharpness and details of the fungi.
The illumination contributes a very pleasant effect.
I would only criticize the use of F2.8 in this case... do you can explain the reason to me?

Nice post, Jean. Very good POV and good composition. I can see the F-717 signature on this one ;-)
Please allow me two recomendations:
1º next time, appart from trying this aperture, make another shot forcing to F8 to compare the DOFs.
2º rainy and overcast days are wonderful to shoot fungi, with a minitripod or the beanbag you will have no problems with long exposures and you will get very controlled details.
Greetings, Felipe.

Excellent POV and composition, as well as great job on PS.

I dearly love mushrooms, Jean Michel. I once had a goal to photograph them as a sort of collection, but kind of lost track of it. Now I can see so many on TN! The depth of field and colors really make these look special. Your point of view from under gives them a majesty that is so unique and fun.
