Hello Steve!
Here in Lodz the insect season is just starting and as I see in NZ the mushrooms predominate :)
Beautiful colours of this species. Picture has nice composition and sharpness. DOF would be a little better because specimens in BG are a little out of focus unfortunatelly. Anyway it is nice to see so colourful species :)
Best greetings and have a nice weekend!
Friendly yours,
Radomir

Hi Steve

Another fine fungi shot from Arnold River. Good composition, DOF and sharpness especially for 1/6 hand held.
Still not many fungi about over here, which is strange, but it's also very dry for this time of year.
