Common Earthball presents itself

This species of fungi is abundant here currently, yet I have always struggled to present it in an interesting way. This specimen, however, was laying perfectly on a tiny hill, in a perfect state of maturity, with the last cool rays of the autumn sun highlighting its texture.

Beautiful composition; I really enjoy the dark green bokeh, and the texture that you showed so well on this earthball. Posted 10 years ago

  Thank you Travis! I'm normally all about sun and warm when it comes to macro, but cool colors can be nice as well. Posted 10 years ago
