Hello Steve
Another wonderful fungi shot,
Great focusing ,composition and DOF,
Superb shot,Welldone.

Fartash

A lovely mycological capture.
The composition in the natural enviroment is very nice, and specimens are robust and healthy, although they are a bit old they still show their beauty.
My only nit again, is the DOF, just a bit short at the back due to the F:2,8... it is not serius, and you have already explained the reason to me, but I can avoid pointing out :) ... I promise it is the last time I tell you.
Best regards, MF and take it easy, think that life is short and we must get advantage of it as much as possible. At least receive our wireless vibrations, sent from the other part of the globe with our best wishes :)

Namastay Steve,

Sincerely
Hara
