Beautiful, Paul! What great colors! I don't know what it is about oranges and greens that go so well together. Looking back, I've seen that a lot of the pictures I've been most impressed with are with these two colors. There's a lot going on in this picture...the soft shells of the mushrooms, but the sharp detail in their neighbors to the right. Let us not forget the great green bokeh! A feast for the eyes, Paul! Thanks for sharing!

Cheers my new friend. Glad you like it. Used my new Sigma 105mm 1:2.8 DG Macro. It takes some getting used to, but I am persevering. PAUL

Paul, that's a really nice image. the golden tones on the fungi are great. Wonderful bokeh in the background and nice sparklies to the right of the fungi. As soon as I saw it, I knew you'd broken out the Sigma 105 and put it to great use. I see you're beginning to really enjoy it!
