I like the first slightly warmer image best Ken.

The main species is very tight and tidy and there appears to be at least one other species lower down showing a less compact form and much darker apothecia. I think that the subtly coloured oof background works well with this subject.

Thanks Bruce :D

I like the first one as well. I used two different Photo Impact filters, the first being somewhat like an 80B warming filter maybe. :-k

Neat shots Ken! PhotoImpact. Is that like an affordable alternative to Photoshop?

Well I have not priced the latest editon of Photo Impact. The last I noticed they were up to Photo Impact 11 I think. But however, my copy was affordable. It is old, like me, but still useful at times. :lol: The last I looked, my version Photo Impact 6, was available at Amazon.com for about $10.00US. :D

Thanks Larry :D
