Hi Werner,

This is a great sharp capture of the mushroom in a wild environment.
The colors are superb and natural. The sharpness and POV are perfect.
Well done.

Oh wow! great shot Werner .. you must have been lying flat on your belly to get this one!
Great use of shallow DOF .. that little mushroom is nice and sharp against the blurred background.
Nice job;

Hi Werdir,
Yes, you're right life continues even in decayed leaves!
Beautiful natural colors in these golden Autumn leaves!
Good subtle lighting with accurate sharpness and details.
Nice mushroom grown amidst these fallen leaves.
Great PP work with cloning and burning the whiteness of the funghus!
Well done,
Regards,

Hi Werner

I miss my 300mm zoom & macro lens. Good sharpness & shallow dof on the mushroom with a soft, diffused light. Perhaps a tighter frame? Good color & saturation. Tfs!

Excellent pov great colours and details I agree with Chris that a tighter frame would help - just enough to eliminate the yellowy green leaf at the top that is competing for attention ;-)
warm regards

Hello Werner,

A classy shot, full of coloured textures, a perfect dof and with the focal image perfectly positioned in the frame, showing the relationship between death and regeneration.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hi Werner,

I didn't know there was a HPP category. Are you sure that you don't have a micro lens??? This looks extremely good to me. I can't take a photo this sharp with a tripod; I just don't know how you do it. I feel like a little kid playing with an adult toy.

Hi Werner,
Excellent composition and clarity. The auto-focus looks like it did it's job well, as did the shallow DOF. Nice exposure too, it all looks very well managed.

TFS,
Scott.

Hello Werner,
The composition surely depicts the forest floor micro-niche in a very natural way. The mushroom is very sharp, there is good exposure management. Good work. Regards
