Hi Gert,

What really surprises e about this image is that the fly was still for a whole second exposure! I really like the light on the fungus against that dark background. The off center placement of the subject is effective.

Good Morning gert!
We both get up early to make our postings and now we are neighbours again.
Fine portrait of a Mycaenid nicely taken against a dark BG in the ambient light with fine sharpness in the mossy substrate. I like the composition and the flesh fly on it is a bonus!
TFS this fine image,
Kind regards,
Ivan

It is very kind of you to look at my recent picture and write your critique on it, Gert.
I notice from your gallery that you are a fungi man, essentially.
This capture of Mycena species is excellent in every respect. I am impressed with the way you compose your images of these wonders of nature.
Thanks and regards,
Ram

Ciao Gert,
un'altra meravigliosa immagine di fungo, eccellenti POV e composizione in questo caso anche con il tocco magico della mosca, straordinaria definizione dei dettagli, fantastici i colori e bellissima luminosità con il magnifico contrasto del BG scuro.
TFS.

Hi Gert

Brilliant shot, the off-centre composition with fantastic light, the fly and a bit of green moss make this a perfect shot....stunning.
Great work, and excellent sharpness too.

hello Gert,
You made a most beautiful series of fungis, the pictures are all very artistically made. On this picture, the little plus is the fly, which gives a special touch to the presentation. I also like a lot the fine light and the generous, decentred composition.
Very beautiful shot
Thanks

Hi Gert,

I can't believe you caught a fly on the Mycena! Either great timing or great luck but whichever one it's wonderful. I'm afraid the fly stole the show from the pretty fungus. Beautiful colors and setting and a fine composition. I like the black background.

Hallo Gert,
Prachtige opname in mooi licht. Het contrast tegen de donkere achtergrond is schitterend. Mooi dat die vlieg een volle seconde bleef zitten. Uitstekende scherpte.
Goed weekend,
Peter

Hi Gert,

At this very moment, if someone clicks only the first page of Your photos, doesn't know You photograph fungi at all. :) But we of course know You not only photograph them, but You do it on very high quality. Like this one: everything (in focus) is razor-sharp, very clever off-centered composition, absolutely excellent natural colors and wonderfully blurred background. It's time to mark this shot with a little green star. :)

I myself also like this genera very much. A lot of Mycena species are growing in bunch, with stems united at the base, and they're very photogenic by my opinion. I truly hope to capture some with a DSLR once.

Thanks for this wonderful pic, respectful regards from Hungary, László
