Hi Valerie.
My congratulations on the first snow. We are waiting Ukrainian snow too (without any hope).

Great colours of your nice picture as well as the details and sharpness. Lighting is really amazing. Beauty of the BG is so great as beauty of the main subject. Very impressive work. My best wishes and TFS.
Alexei.

Hola Valerie,
Bella y cálida luz, excelentes detalles y un acertada profundidad de campo que deja un bonito fondo borroso. Una composición inquietante, por lo mucho que vuela la seta sin apoyo.
Un saludo cordial,
José M.

Hi Valerie

A rather simplistic view of this fungi yet a very interesting posting showing the subject in a wonderful presentation.

This is no easy task to decide on the composition for such a shot and this would surely pose a difficult question to many a photographer who might be confronted with such a view. IMHO you succeeded very well to answer the question because you managed to capture it in such a way that really show-off its basic beauty. Lovely colours and very sharp details that shows excellent contrasts and textures round of the photo and the OOF dark BG shows it very well. The exposure was also spot-on for this shot.

Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Valerie,
Beautiful light and color tone. Very nice composition and sharpness. With software and a bit of patience may be you can clone out the thin line of shadow from tree branch. With best wishes,
JC

Bella captura Valerie por la armonía de colores imperante, el agradable punto de vista captado y el excelente DOF que brinda el foco necesario y el OOF del fondo de la escena.
Me gusta el encuadre elegido con muy buena iluminación ofreciendo muy buenos detalles del ejemplar retratado.

Hello Valerie,
My apologies for getting back to your picture late; the work pressure was stifling these past few days.
Going by the scale provided by the tree trunk, it must have been a rather large fungal protrusion. In my own alpine place in the Himalayas, I remember having seen sometimes very large fungal growths on trees which somehow did not rot away and dried up on the tree itself, getting as hard as wood in the process. This one looks like one of those species to me.
By coming level with the subject, you have got a perfect side shot of it with natural colours and even the scratches on its surface. That streak of a shadow on it does not distract me; in fact, it gives a natural outlook to the picture.
I like your narrative note, bringing alive your experiences while taking this picture.
Thanks.
Ram
