Hi Big Bro, another great macro capture of a tiny and beautifully coloured mushroom in a fine composition.
TFS and cheers,

Goedemorgen Gert,

Een heel fijne close-up van dit kleverig koraalzwammetje. De diagonale lijn in de POV is goed doorgezet. Klasse. Scherp en de details zijn goed zichtbaar. Het fragiele van deze kleine jongens komt goed tot uiting. Dit wordt mede versterkt door de dennenaalden.

Fijn weekend en tot TFS BOB

Helo Gert,
nice species,
Perfect macro.

Hola Gert,
Una bonita captura de este bello hongo, que siempre es una alegría encontrarlo sobre todo al final de temporada cuando se ven pocas setas, saludos

Hi Gert,

These fungi are so colorful! I found more ugly brown and black ones yesterday - wonder why we don't have pretty ones here. Is that one happens in a desert? I love the shape of these and the way they grow so close to one another. Beautiful setting and wonderful composition.
