    Well done "SC" Barb. It really puts the focus square on the fungi. It seems that red is the major colour when doing this type of edit. I also like the little tinge of colour in the foreground/background.

      Thanks Isac ..... had to be SC, the green grass around it was too distracting .... and the SC allows the red to pop

    That is a sad joke Greg!! . At least I got it.

    Wonderful capture Barb,
    Love the selective red and the slight tinge left over in the rest of the image.
    If you could clone out the 2 strands of grass rising into the mushroom, and tone down the brightness on the stick it may improve the image.

    Beautiful shot Barb.The selective color works here. The OOF background, the composition all come together.

    Nice light too. Did you use a flash? I think you did? If so, you did well, cause using a flash in macro work can often look harsh if not handled skillfully.

    I agree with Scott regarding the cloning.

    My indecision is final, I think.

    Nice work Barb. I think the selective colour works well.

    I don't mind the bright stick.

    I think cropping some off the left would balance it better. (All personal choices )

    The FZ200 does an amazing job - not to mention your processing

    I like this Barb, the colourful little fellow really stands out. If you ever get around to it, I would like to see the comparison between this as is, and with the grass taken out, although I feel they add to the authenticity of the location and scene.
