Hello Gert,

Excellent presentation of this amazing fungi. Great POV, DOF and sharpness. Very good background. Excellent natural colours. I like the little insect on the top of the fungi.

Hi Gert,

I see fungi growing out of the rocks here and they are all so ugly. Yours are always fascinating. Wonderful colors, shadings, and details. Looks marvelous against the green background.

Hi my friend Gert,
Marvelous close-up capture of this fungi with superb clarity, lighting and framing. Many thanks for sharing and best regards,

Excellent control of DOF I like the way you have isolated the fungus from the back ground. We have a a similar list of rare fungi but I have found many on the list are rarely collected rather the rare fungi.
Cheers Clive

Hi Gert,
What an interesting form! I've never seen it before. Shallow DOF, your low POV, colors, focus, composition and details are very good. TFS

Hi Gert,
