Extreme macro photography of a beautiful but deadly flower-mushroom hybrid in a mossy, enchanted forest. Its petals look like a lush velvet rose, but are blood-red and dotted with the iconic white spots of a fly agaric. The flower is slightly open, revealing a tight cluster of small, curious, glistening black eyes within. Morning dew magnifies the intricate textures on the petals. Shot with a Nikon Z7 and a 105mm macro lens using focus stacking for hyper-detailed, edge-to-edge sharpness. A very shallow depth of field at f/2.8 beautifully blurs the background into a soft, dreamlike bokeh. --ar 3:4 --raw --profile b1yjrzp ld9s6ng
