HibKathy,
It looks as though you were lucky to find these in not too dark a location.
I've only ever seen them in very dark spots, and not been able to get very good focus on them, such is the fickleness of auto focus (especially with reds in low light).
You've done a great job here.
Plenty of detail and good colour. The stem is nice and clear too.
Nice work.
Steve

The red fungi against a green background really make your subject pop Kathleen. Focus is excellent and the wood to the left of it really compliments the overall composition.

Hi Kathleen

A wonderful shot of these Crimson helmets with a great quality scan and PP work. Well done.

The exposure levels really makes this shot comes to life with nice soft lighting on the fungi and somewhat brighter light on the BG to liven up the greens which created a lovely contrasting colour for the red subjects. The details are nice and sharp and the colour saturation is excellent. The composition and POV is good with the dark piece of wood on the left hand side running along almost at the same angle as the fungi stems.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Great composition - you really pulled these two out on their own. :) Wonderful colors - that red is different.
Interesting subjects. I think maybe it's normally too hot for us to have much fungi, but with the recent rains I might have to go out and look. :)

Must be a Fungi type of day...I sure like the colors in this depiction. I did mine in my artsy mode to create a mystical tale...but it is always nice seeing the real deal.


Good composition as well as adding your own special touches.

Hi Kathleen,
Wow what great colors do these mushrooms have. Just like jelly fish in water. Just beautifully captured. Thanks a lot for sharing.

This is a very nice shot of a beautiful specie. The capture is very well managed.
You chose very well the angle, and used a correct exposure.
TFS, Felipe y Cris.
