It's a winner for me Felipe. The mushroom is perfectly in focus and that sea of moss looks fantastic, the textures and colours are exceptional. Very well done.

I like the full image the best, to be honest if the mushroom wasn't there it would look like an underwater shot of seaweed!

What a landscape Felipe! I love fresh green colour of moss. It looks lika savannah. DOF is amazing, sharpness and composition, too. Different from your other shots but agree with Luc and Paul - one of your best.

Wonderful work Felipe! The textures, color & details are excellent..Interesting & unique composition with your fungus as the subject..About as extreme WA as you can get and still appreciate the best of both worlds!!Very well done!!

IMHO, the centered version works the best. The moss carpet alone is already very well rendered, with a very large DOF, but the Galerina on top is a great eye catcher. It seems even more in evidence due to the soft light shade enhancing the fungus and the moss around. A very attractive and relaxing image, Felipe.

Great shot Felipe, the green bg just make the little mashroom stand out, the focus, the colour and the text are wonderful. Well done.

I think I would tend to agre with you felipe that they are one of the Galerina's as they seem to favour this mossy habitat. the image is brilliantly sharp the sony has done its work well, though the greens are a fraction over the top, a comment I often get with printed copies from mine, what I have started to do is to apply an adjustment layer of saturation and hue, drop the list down and click on greens use the colour picker on the area to select then reduce the saturation and hue back a fraction say -1-2 only and click OK and flattern image. this will affect the greens only.

Well Felipe needless to say that this is very very nice. The moss alone would make a wonderful shot but the mushroom is definitely the bonus. Wonderful clarity and accurate dof really lift this shot from the norm. BTW I prefer this shot to the WS...very well done.

Well, I have to say that my favorite was all three versions! Each has its own qualities that make it uniquely inviting to reflect upon. Thank you for the workshops they were an excellent idea.

Hi Felipe, Interesting photo have you ever made a spore print, other words do you know what colour the spores are :). As usual another nice photos I am still bewildered at the DOF you get.

Perfect detail. Love it !

Great shot, I would crop it a bit more tight to get rip of the upper part.
Well done.
TFS.

I love this beautiful green colour and the fragile mushroom in the wavy sea of moss.
Well composed and well captured.
I like it very much.
Well done!

This is a work of art, Felipe. Frame it and hang it on the wall. The textures and colors are pleasing and the little one adds impact and depth. Wonderful capture. As Paul said this is a winner! IMHO, I prefer this one ot the WS.

An excellent shot Felipe, I think the fungi in the middle is just great. A very beautiful sea of moss that you have captured to perfection.

Felipe, ótima captura com cores vívidas. Gosto muito do ponto-de-vista (pov). O cogumelo dá um acabamento perfeito para uma imagem que já seria perfeita sem ele.

Belo trabalho.

La foto es fantástica. Me gusta más el original y después el workshop 1.
En la original la distribución de las zonas oscuras es muy equilibrada y ayudan a centrar la vista sobre la seta.
Enhorabuena.

Very lovely to see the swaying of moss (is that really moss?) all around the 'shroom. Excellent composition and color
