I suspect this was a bit smelly to shoot, but the composition, lighting, and images make it all worthwhile. Nice work!

Thank you Leonard.
Dung from most herbivores is only dead plants, so the smell is'nt a problem. I keep my samples in closed containers to prevent drying. It is very interesting to keep a sample long time - there is a succession of different small fungi and some of them are really nice objects for macrophotography.

That was worth it. There must a lot of interesting fungi and slime molds emergent on dung, if one but gets close enough to look.
