Psilocybe Caerulea

I combined one picture taken without sun and one with sun and used

the sunny picture to highlight the shaded picture, normal blend,

opacity 40%.

What did you want to achieve by this complex manipulation? Doesn't gain on artistic impression: the background is uninteresting and could have been left dark. Not great for a mushroom atlas photo either because it is obscured by moss. By the way, is it the halucinogenic one?

Thanks for your honest opinion. I personally like the emptyness of the picture and just the single mushroom standing there, with good detail. I made this manipulation because the picture without sun was rather flat, without depth, and the sunny picture was too bright, taking the attention away from the mushroom. So I found a middleway. By the way, manipulation was very easy, just copy on on top of the other and set the opacity to 40%. As far as I know this one is not halucinogenic, but deadly.
