“Mushrooms in the Spotlight,” by Ria Bloemendaal
Bloemendaal says: “I took this photo in October 2021 at the Wamberg Estate in Berlicum, Netherlands. It was three o’clock in the afternoon and the natural light was not special. My eye fell on these two little mushrooms. In the foreground was a seedling of an American oak. It seemed as if the American oak gave shelter to the little mushrooms, which really captured my imagination. I used a fill light to brighten the mushrooms and it brought out a beautiful orange glow of the brown beech leaf in the foreground.”
