Many thanks everyone for your kind comments. I'm amazed by slime moulds, their appearance and their life cycle, so I was especially pleased to find such a photogenic group.

Great photo Dave! - Like me, it looks like you're definitely getting the myxo bug.

A classic example of where stacking could actually ruin an image - this is damn near perfect

Agree with Chris, this is spot on and too much dof would spoil it. I'm dying to see this species for myself one day.
