Hi Alexei. A very happy Christmas and New Year to you and your family. We have had very little snow so far. You were lucky to have seen this little fungi. You have taken it with good detail and your use of the light has given natural colours. i like the pattern on the tree trunk. well taken TFS.

A merry Christmas to you too Alexei. I love your photo , a fungi with a snowy roof top , that is so very original. I think I would like to have a little harder time finding Winter ;-) Here we are lucky to get bouts of fair weather (aka Camera weather) during winter :-)

Hi Alexei,

How wonderful to have you as my neighbor on the day of Christmas Eve. A most unusual and marvelous picture for a Greeting Card. A masterful shot and a superb composition. Colors and details of the tree and the snow covered fungus are excellent. Maybe because this is an eating time of year it reminds me of chocolate pudding and whipped cream! All the best for 2010 my dear friend.

Hello Alexei, and Merry Christmas'
Congratulations on your first fungi photo. The composition is very good, the detail and color perfectly presented. You don't usually associate snow with a fungi picture, so this is something unusual and beautiful at the same time!!

Hello Alexei,

This seems to be the year when most of Europe had snow for Christmas, at least a week or so before..!
Even if this is a couple of year old it still conveys the X-mas mood so well...

And I wish you all a wonderful Christmas, White if possible!

Greetings,

Hello Alexei,
I hope you're enjoying the vacation and I wish you a Happy and Peaceful 2010! I perfectly understand your disillusionment with the weather - the same here, we had lots of snow but darkness and grey skies and last night it disappeared after heavy rain! There's more snow forecast though!
This is a lovely capture where the bracket fungus looks just like a bell! Wonderful light and colours and very clear details. I like your composition too!
TFS and all the best wishes, Ulla

Hello Alexei !
What a gorgeous winter picture this is ! I really love the combination of snow, rugged bark, blue sky and petty fungi, in the most beautiful composition, from a well-chosen POV. The colors are wonderful, too - vivid and happy, despite the fact that it is a winter picture. Very well done !

Hi Alex

Ok, so it is your first and only fungi shot, but that still beats me, because I have none.
Well chosen to show the "essential" Christmas snow (chuckle). The dark bark of the
tree provided a good BG to compliment the lighter coloured fungi and the snow. Btw.
you did great with the exposure control to capture the crystal like appearance of the
snow and all the fine details of the fungi.

Thanks for the kind New Years message and to you and your loved ones I also wish
a wonderful, healthy, and a prosperous 2010.

Well done MF and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hallo Alexei
At the time you posted this image we where away at a family gathering for the Christmas and festive season. As a 1st fungi posting, I do want to congratulate you with the outcome. The colours and details are marvellous. I very much like the fine white threads at the bottom of the fungus. It is very delicate but still well seen. The texture of the snow as well as the tree's trunk is well photographed and seen. An unusual but rather beautiful image from your hand and I thank you kindly for sharing. I wish you and your family the all of the best, which you so well deserve. May you have a wonderful photographic year in 2010. Best regards.

Hi Alexei

Happy New Year. We had a bit of snow where I am before Christmas that managed to last 4 or 5 days disappearing on Christmas Eve, but we woke to a fine covering yesterday morning (New Year's Day) which is still with us today... I understand that where we normally go on holiday to at this time of year has had a lot of snow even by their standards... hope some of it will still be there in 6 weeks time...

lovely pin sharp picture of the bracket fungus and the detail on the bark.

Take care and TFS

Hi Alex,
very abstract presentation with pure white snow and well seen texture in great details. you have given a good thought about it and the notes are really exciting.
The fungus is so sharp and smoothly rendered.
Well presented in a very artistic style.

What an interesting picture for your first ever fungi.
I like the unusual view with all the snow gathered over it, and the total control over the snow's whites.
A pretty clear and sharp image to display and show us the plant's texture.
My compliments for the pic, thanks for share it and all the best for this 2010,

This is such a wonderful image of winter captured on bright sunny day. The exposure is excellent with framing and details are flawless. I like the texture on the bark too making such a nice perspective.

Get warm in Odessa and TFS.
