Hi

A fun image of these subjects that works well - I guess it's that time of year again, where does it all go?

All the best
Matthew

Beautiful. Nice details and background.

Very good work on the stack. So many shrooms with different orientations make for a nice composition as well.

Fine group - the branch has a neat shape, the background is excellent. Amazing that the branch is that slender, thought it was much bigger.

Thanks all!
For stacking, I used CS6 (auto-align and auto-blend), with manual masking and checking against unblended original frames in layers beneath to correct stacking errors. This is quite time-consuming, but I quite enjoy it, though I wouldn't want to try it with any more than e.g. 15 frames.
