Default Five Fellow Funguses

Went for a walk this morning in Lyme Park, Disley, UK, and came across these fine fellows growing on the side of a stone wall. Enjoy. PAUL

LOVE the composition and colors of this! I've never found mushrooms particularly photogenic, until I saw this. It's simply beautiful.

I really like this shot. The depth of field is perfect, with the mushrooms in perfect focus. But I think what really makes this shot is the angle from which you took it. Great job.

Thank you Susan. Maybe I can get you going a little more. Take a look at the vivid orange one on my flickr site. Appreciate your comments. PAUL

Thank you Tom. When trying to get a certain angle it would help to made of rubber sometimes!. Cheers for your kind words. PAUL

Hi Paul. This is a great shot, with very nice depth of field. What lens were you using here to get that shallow? TFS.
