Wow Darryl..looks like that new book is paying off :)! These white oysterettes look like something that would be found in the ocean (no pun intended). They are very transparent and you have captured that very well as you did the structure of these fungi. The lighting is excellent. Whatever else you did with your camera to capture these, you did damn good. Right into my fav's on my harddrive so they can grow some more in the dark of the computer :~)

Wow, one of the more crisp photographs I've seen on this site. Excelent quality. The composition is also very cool. Nice job.

Beautiful shot Darryl. Like Mimi I thought they looked like they belong in a coral reef. They look so delicate.

WOW... great shot Darryl... perfect in everything.. what more can I say.. except PERFECT..

NICE! Very clear and sharp! If you really look at it, you can say this is an "all natural" fractal. Great job.

What loveliness! the tenderness portrayed here and the muted colours..well, its perfect!!!!

Beautiful composition, light and DOF. As always, Darryl, first class!

Wow Darryl
this is a hell of a shot, beautiful lightning and great angle....just perfect.

Excellent in every aspect, especially that almost translucent look.

OMG, Finally Darryl !!! 10/10, into Favorites, on my Desktop...

Absolutely! Perfect!

Beautiful shot Darryl!!

Fantastic. i love the glow in the moss and background and the soft lighting. the perspective on the 3 fungi is impressive.

Beautiful! The lighting on the shrooms is magnificent - they almost seem to glow from within. I like the contrast between the pinsharp shrooms and the soft mossy bg as well - it really makes them stand out. Very nice indeed :-)

Only the third 10 I've given on the site, and I've been here quite a while. The focus is incredible, and the way you captured the light shining both on and through the mushrooms is exquisite. I'm in awe.

Knew it was yours. Great shot you have here! Nice soft lighting as usual with your mushroom shots.

Hi Darryl, my oh my, this is truly as beautiful as a favorite floral image! These mushroons are the most gorgeous colors with their translucency, they indeed seem to be unreal! I never knew mushroons could be so beautiful! The clarity is exceptional and into my favs they go! Do you think they will continue to grow there? If not, I will bring in a gardener! LOL! Really, expertly done, Darrly! Sincerely, Marilyn

This is so amazing at full screen ! great focus, and the detail.

Speechless.....

What a stunning, and very beautiful shot !! They are amazing, I thought this was an undersea pic' when I first saw it. A most fabulous capture.

What an excellent capture. Those mushrooms look so delicate. I love the way the light can be seen through them - the shot is focused perfectly. Well done.

Did they come from other planet? Fabulous, incredible detail and the light... astonishing. A 10.

OK, I know I already commented, but I have to add something. Here it is, almost a week later, I'm still using this image on my desktop and I'm still stunned by its beauty every time I see it. There are a lot of beautiful images on Caedes, but not all have such staying power.

Perfect! How beautiful and carefully composed.
Great job!

They have a beautiful, wet glow. I like the perspective showing the gills they have a great pattern.

10/10....excellent image....fascinating subject....love the transculence.

ohh i like this one a lot!

a fabulous image. beautiful detail and lighting.
