[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Description: I spotted these small fungus on the side of a tree. The blue colors attracted the eye. The last ones this time, most of the fungus are gone now or damaged.

Technical aspects: Because they were on a fallen tree a had no problem with the angle and the low light situation.

Postprocessing: PhotoShop, some L, CB, a bit USM and a frame.

Conditions: end of the day, last beams of the sun.

My Goal: Capture the blue colors and the very small details. Because of the size I included a piece of the tree to illustrate the size.

This look very much like Coprinus micaceus and I do like these small wonders of nature.

This look very much like Coprinus micaceus, you have captured very well, I like very much the diagonal compositions, and the distance is perfect for the DOF this time. Please remember to include the parameters of your shot, (aperture and speed) they are very useful to learn from other people. TFS.
