Hi John. Very vivid colors, beautiful light, and the stacking worked well to give you excellent sharpness throughout your subjects. I also like the low shooting angle allowing us to see the gills of the tallest mushroom. I like the comp as presented, though this could also be cropped into a very nice vertical format as an alternate presentation. Very well done!

[Jerry van Dijk]

Beautiful mushrooms, and very sharp. Somehow, stacked images sometimes appear sharper than a regular capture, and this is an example of that. Are these mushrooms actually that vivid orange? Must be quite a spectacular sight!

Lovely shot John I like the angle and composition. For me the colours are a little saturated but I know you like them like that.

Johnny, gorgeous colors and complementary green grass. Lovely focus. The image looks like it could be in a fairy tale:S3:
