Hello Gert,

This is a very interesting photo as you have shown so well these small fungy. Despite theyr small size youhave shown them in good details so that viewer can see texture and colors. The background, with its reachness of color tones, looks great too.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hi Gert,

I love seeing these fungus pictures - I only see ugly ones here. This one must be tiny but you have captured it very well. The setting and background are lovely.

Hi Gert. One more to your colection. And as always a very fine close up of this small fungi. Which you have taken wit hfine detail and rich colours. A unusual place for it to be living on the acorn. well done TFs.
Nick..

Hallo Gert,
Mooi geheel met goed licht. De scherptediepte is okay maar kon misschien iets beter opdat de fungi in de achtergrond ook scherp zouden kunnen zijn...
Maar niet echt een noodzaak..
Bedankt
Annick

hello Gert

beautiful warm luminosity and colour tones,
excellent sharpness and details, TFS

Hello Gert
I admire you guys taking photographs of fungi. I am sure you have a special skill to do so. I saw a few fungi this weekend while walking in a nature reserve but just could not a decent photograph with the correct depth of field, composition and overall clarity and threw in the towel. This dainty fungi is greatly captured with details very clearly seen. I like the patches of green that surrounds the fungi here and there, it makes the whole scenery lively. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards.
Anna
