So I decided they were three good enough reasons to go off on a fungi hunt today

I like your thinking Susie

Lovely image too!

Carl Ayling · 12 Oct 2016

That's very well thought through and nicely composed with those dried leaves in the fg. Well taken Susie.

sirch · 13 Oct 2016

Well captured, alien invasive species is a good take on the theme, my first thought was that the top of the mushroom has echos of a flying saucer.

brrnd · 13 Oct 2016

Great idea and a great photo. I like the colours and the not too shallow DoF.

Allan.H · 13 Oct 2016

Excellent idea for the theme, as mentioned above just the right amount of DoF, very good indeed

SamuelSlade007 · 13 Oct 2016

hi susie, love the After the boat ride......spiders... [shiver] ...as for Alien, you truly found one looking like a flying saucer well done

Hertsman · 14 Oct 2016

Nice shot Susie,I have some lovely Fungi shots from Brownsea that I semi pigeon holed for the Alien theme if I couldnt find what I wnated.

LC2 · 15 Oct 2016

Ah right, good job you explained your thoughts behind the theme, my poor little brain wouldn't have got it otherwise.
Nicely separated from the background and a crisp rendering of the 'saucer'.

Emja · 15 Oct 2016

Ooh - I like this one a lot Susie - beautifully composed and a wonderful autumnal feel

Glad you got there in the end Tim

Thank Emma ....autumn sure is on its way.

susiejb · 15 Oct 2016

A quickie today as we're off visiting relations in the Midlands tomorrow .The one I really wanted to do involved lots of mess and I had the grandsons here so I decided it wasn't advisable!

I dashed outside instead when it stopped raining. DOF is a bit tight but it will do as a placeholder.

We see plenty of this liquid here.

Liquid ... After the rain.

Liquid TP 2016 by Susiejb, on Flickr

Allan.H · 15 Oct 2016

Only a fool would put in a picture of a wet flower

Nice colour, very vibrant, nice DoF to emphasise the liquid aspect, its definitely one of yours

sirch · 15 Oct 2016

It might be a "quickie" but it is very good, I love the colour and light against the dark background and the water drops stand out so well.

Shirleyr · 15 Oct 2016

Its autumnal water droplets, I like it very much.

viv1969 · 15 Oct 2016

Love the colours and the droplets, Susie.

Carl Ayling · 15 Oct 2016

Yes, don't we just Susie .. plenty of that liquid around. Nicely taken macro and sharp detail in the droplets.

Emja · 15 Oct 2016

The darkness of the background really brings out those droplets, and perfect focus on the main raindrop - lovely!

Cobra · 16 Oct 2016

Very seasonal, I like the way the focus is on just one rain drop and the rest fades from there, great use of DoF Susie

DowntonMini · 16 Oct 2016

Very nice indeed Susie love the detail in the water drops. The lighting adds a feel of warmth to the image.

brrnd · 17 Oct 2016

Very good lighting for liquid, and the warm colours work well.

Dark Knight · 17 Oct 2016

You sure can't beat a quickie, and that is a perfect example, I really like the dark yet warm feel to it Susie, very autumnal indeed, narrow DoF works spot on too, love it

...

I do wonder if it is actually the same flower as Allan

Thanks DK ....Allan and I are spookily on the same wavelength this week

d00d · 19 Oct 2016

Alien ... clever idea ... nicely captured with good colour.

Liquid ... atmospheric, great colour, quite beautiful. But ... I'm not sure about the OOF FG ... a very shallow DoF, I think the focal point would be better further forward.

posiview · 19 Oct 2016

Candidate for a stacking attempt

I thought it was under exposed but I consider it atmospheric.

Cheers.

LC2 · 24 Oct 2016

Works for me. I too like the v shallow DoF with the single droplet in sharp focus.

Thanks d00d ...I thought the DOF was a bit shallow too, but had no time to mess about.

Atmospheric suits me fine

susiejb · 25 Oct 2016

Not sure if this is a bit of a shoehorn or not but I loved the colours and textures.
It seemed to fit this definition:
adjective cracked
damaged and showing lines on the surface from having split without coming apart.

Cracked TP2016 by Susiejb, on Flickr

d00d · 25 Oct 2016

Yep ... plenty of colour and texture there susie.

A tree broken off in a storm?

posiview · 25 Oct 2016

Cracked, indeed. Lower left trunk draws my eye a little.

Always a shame when trees are toppled.

Cheers.

Allan.H · 25 Oct 2016

No shoehorn at all, nice textures and colour works well

LC2 · 25 Oct 2016

It certainly is cracked and weathered.
Good detail in the texture there and the shot has a fore, middle and background.

Cobra · 25 Oct 2016

No shoe horn required Susie, that trunk is well and truly cracked,
nice colours and textures

Dark Knight · 25 Oct 2016

Not a shoehorn at all Susie, funnily enough that was one thing I was hoping to see in the woods on Sunday

real nice textures you have captured there, and I love the contrast against the bark

Hertsman · 25 Oct 2016

I love natural textures like that, so its a thumb up from me.

DowntonMini · 25 Oct 2016

Lovely detail on there susie and some great lighting too. Definitely not a shoe horn in my book.

Thanks d00d, yes, I guess so, there were quite a few trees that had keeled over, beautiful woodland on the Lanhydrock Estate.

Thanks Andy, I hoped it added contrast, I was tempted to do a closer crop, but decided against it.
