Hi Gert,
as usual your wonderful shot of these fungi gives a good surrounding and its environment. The fungi itself are clear and sharp. the colours is great and very informative indeed. You managed the light very very well because white is really difficult to balance.

regards,
Foozi

Hi Gert,

Congratulations for a first on TN - and for all the other firsts we weren't aware of. These look like they would be edible - I'll take your word for it that they are not. Wonderful shot of this group with excellent colors and details. I love the setting of dried leaves.
