Hi Steve,
Very nice close up.POV,clear details,exposure,colors and framing are wonderful.Well caught and composed.
Thanks for posting.

Hello Steve,

What a beauty have you posted. Nice close up with good exposure. I find the diagonal position of this mushroom very attractive. The dark brown hat and the lighter colour of the stamp are very nice. That gives a good contrast. Razorsharp with enough fine details.

Thanks for sharing. Regards and TFS BOB

Excellent shot of this Austroboletus lacunosus, the colours and detail are just superb, love the angle of the subject, and the separation from the OOF background is perfect as is the POV, really nice work mate, all the best,
