Autumn in Tasmania

[gregj1763]

A surprise today, spotted these while out on the golf course, had to come back later with the camera. Looks like we might have a good fungi season

What a beauty!!! If you have no hesitations about editing, kindly remove the dark thing above the mushroom

[gregj1763]

Yep saw that later, a tree trunk, on to it already mate

[gregj1763]

Better ?

[Wavelength]

Sure

[gregj1763]

Thank you

Nice shots Greg. Needed the edit. Fly Agaric I think. I have never spotted these with camera in hand and returning later, I usually find they are half eaten or past their best. Lord knows what eats them because I think they are relatively poisonous.

[gregj1763]

Thanks John, certainly didn't take them home to eat them.

Thanks John, certainly didn't take them home to eat them.

If you had, you may have ended up with an image like this.

Nicely captured.

[NorthernFocus]

Nicely done. The edit is a huge improvement.

The edit is a good one but with Rob's version, I missed the redness of the mushroom. It is orange now...I like the second version but the yellowish/greenish patches above the mush should have been more cleaner. I see you are using Photoshop CC. If you have the Nik plugin, in Color Efex you should use the graduated filter and use of the vertical slider will be helpful...

I assume if they were in the middle of a fairway they would be safe from only but the very good golfers or did you spot them while visiting a remote hidden region of the rough?

Good image taken from an excellent dew point....

[gregj1763]

Thanks Izzie, I don't have the Nik plugin but will look into it, just bought a new iMac and setting up Photoshop on it in the next few days so will have a look then.
Paul, I get my moneys worth when I play golf, tend to explore all parts of the course

The edited version looks very nice

Beautiful shot

Thanks Anne, the edit was certainly an improvement
