Fungi (Flammulina velutipes) on Tree Bark
Narrows Reserve, Beavercreek, Ohio
"Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong." - Winston Churchill
One of the oldest images I still have in my possession. I took this with having no idea what kind of mushroom spore or fungi I was looking at. Plant and any other organism is important to identify to learn more about.
The rule of thirds comes into play here, as the fungal subject is offset to the side with some negative space offsetting it. A rainy day meant the colors were saturated and light was diffussed. Standing on the shadowed side of the tree further helped in dialing back the exposure.
