Description Full view is much better !!

Of course !!! How could I possibly have my Own Drop and not have my Own Mushroom ???

The rains and the heat of this summer were so intense that in February I discovered some tiny ones among the grass. Before our dog destroyed them while running over them, I made him "stay" and I took several shots.

Not easy ! I learned that I had to remove grasses and sticks and leaves before achieving the right shot, because otherwise many objects would stand in the way.

I have some others, but I love this one, specially.

Now, go and get your own macro mushrooms !!

You are sick?
Besides medicine, try using a handkerchief soaked in ice cold water and
put it on your forehead. That should give you extra relief!



Get better very soon!!
(I don't like having fever either, I almost never do, though)

Ahh...this is soo nice. I love the mellow color and your lighting is superb.

It is amazing for me to think you are going into summer, while I...have the fore-runner to cold Arctic winds knocking on my door. I do prefer summer. My mushroom hunting has been brought to an abrupt halt after our first snowfall yesterday.

These were so very tiny!

Yes, seasons are changing, however we are still using our
fireplace and wearing sweaters! It's very cold!
I guess summer will arrive late this year...and burn us in
January!

Snow is beautiful for me (because we don't have any...)

Sensual, phallic, and poetic. I love the soft muted colors...almost dream like. I would clone-stamp or burn the upper left hand corner to bring the tone to that of the right corner, thus keeping the attention on the mushroom which would then be the lightest part of the photograph. Wonderful image.

Thank you a LOT for taking the time to help me improve.
I always value that so much from friends!!

Well what do you think. I have seen the new version and I really think it works well. You don't need improvement...just friends to suggest ideas. Your work stands proudly and strongly all on its own. Love your work...so much feeling involved, always.

What I think ? That I did this at the office with PhotoFiltre
and that it could look a bit better done with Photoshop at home.
It's not 100% well done... and ... what do you think about
removing the orange at the top left ? Or should I leave it ?
And maybe darken it a bit more still ?
The light green at the left is to light... maybe a bit more
dark green would make it improve ...

See ? You created a monster !!

You made my day by noticing how much feeling it involves. It really does
That's why I don't post often... What I post needs to mean something and talk
to me in a special way...

I am enjoying your friendship!

Yes perhaps a tad more burn to that light green in the left hand corner. I wouldn't remove that orange tip to that stem. I like that it is there as well as the other orange colors speckled throughout the grass. It support the mushroom...we see them, they register and then lead us back to the main event via the color wheel called our mind
