@ p. - Thanks. I think everyone in this region has some interest in mycology this time of year. (It's the rainy season.) I only claim to know how to read.

@ Duncan, Sean, and Kelly- Natural backlighting provided by the Sun. Shots from the "correct" side looked like something out of a cheap textbook.

@ Craiger- One more reason to visit during the rainy season. Some of the fungi found in the gorge are prehistoric in scale this time of year.

I never thought I would say this about fungus, but this is such a beautiful picture. I love the soft orange color and the shapes!

Wow that is gorgeous. The color and the DoF and the details. Fantastic macro. This is when a macro shot doesn't need a lot of details to look great.
And good points about digital photography. I had to read it twice to fully understand it.

@Robert: Thanks. Also, thanks for the visit, Robert. I thought you might have given up on Am3, as you hadn't posted to your blog in a while.
