Bellissima immagine di "mazza di tamburo" (in italiano), ottimi POV e composizione ambientata, molto buona la definizione dei dettagli, molto belli e naturali i colori. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Olá José,
Great shot of Macrolepiota procera. Nice colors, OK sharpness. By my opinion a little lower perspective, which allows to see more of the environment, would even be better, but overall a fine documentation photo. Tfs.
Best wishes from Hungary, László

Hi Jose...Very good shot...Detail perfect...Are they poison or might be not..You said they popular in Portugal...Thanks to share, regards, Leyla

Hi, Jose!
You are quite right, this mushroom is very tasty and lots of people in Poland looks for it late summer and autumn. Polish name of it is "Kania", I like it very much, particularly fried with butter. Very nice photo!

An accurate record of this mushroom. From a photographic point of view, do you think it needs to be isolated more from the background? In Photoshop, you could try a little Gaussian Blur, then add a layer mask, and with the opacity reduced, select a soft brush, and gently "paint back" detail where you want it (in the mushroom - 100%, and in the foreground, grading it from 100% sharp to 100% blurred.

Hello Jose,
Your mushroom is known to me very well. I like your composition, natural surroundings and colours. Maybe too soft light.
Regards, Pawel

Hello Jose,
Excellent capture of this Lapiota!
It brings back memories from the time I have spent in Spain - these mushrooms are delicious.
TFS, Shir
