Thanks for looking and for the kind words, Frank.
As for the brand sensitivity, I was unsure whether or not there would
be a call for brand purity on the PDML Flickr group.

 If anybody can name that mushroom/toadstool I'll add that to the
 caption and tags and give you credit for the info.
 

I'm surprised you don't know - it must be one of the most easily-identified
toadstools there is. It's fly agaric:

No need for a credit.

Thanks Bob.  My brother would have known, he's the old hippie in my
family, with the special knowledge that accompanies that status.  He
would know what's safe to eat and what's interesting to eat.

Really?  Maybe you got too close to the toadstool and inhaled

Good shot, though.  They are very photogenic fun guys.  



 My shot's non-Pentax, should we have a prefix for that?

You could label it OT, but I think Pentax is becoming the minority
brand on this list.

Let's see, we have Fuji, Leica, Olympus, Sony and Ricoh to add to the
odd Nikon and Canon.  Panasonic anyone?

We Pentax shooters are a tolerant lot.



Cheers

Brian

Nice colours.  I tend to avoid getting my lenses too close to fungus.

I'd hope we weren't that sensitive here.

Re: PESO - A Fun Guy

2011-05-29 Thread Anthony Farr
Thanks for the generous comments to Daves Mann and Brook, Christine,
Don, Ecke and Steve.
If I have to worry about getting too close to the fungi, then Bill
Robb's lenses must be toast.
The colours got a little help.  The mushroom itself is untouched save
for a little levels and saturation, but the grass had some golden
highlights on the right that unbalanced the composition and flattened
the 3D illusion (warm colours advance, cool colours recede).  I
selected and re-hued them (PSE8: enhanceadjust colorreplace color)
to blend better with the left hand side that was shaded from the
golden hour sunlight.  Some dark vignette, a watermark and Bob's your
uncle, it's more real than reality.
If anybody can name that mushroom/toadstool I'll add that to the
caption and tags and give you credit for the info.

regards, Anthony
