33 Stunning Winning Photos From The Close-Up Photographer
#10 Fungi, Winner – “Ice Encrusted Comatricha” by Barry Webb
‘In January last year, following two days of freezing fog and sub-zero temperatures, I found some mature Comatricha, growing on an old fence post lying on a pile of discarded, rotting timber. I was attracted to the way the ice had encased the slime mould, creating strange, windswept, leaf-like shapes. The tallest one was only 3mm high, including the ice. The final image is the result of 55 focus-bracketed images combined in Zerene Stacker.’
