Beautifully done, Thiago. Color tones and the story-telling, both are worth more than a thousand words.

Now that is very effective Thiago. I like it a lot.

Thanks everybody!

This is a glass mushroom with fluorescent material inside.
I shot it in a dark room with long exposure, 13s.

I was having diner at my in laws when I saw this decorative mushroom and then they told me that it glows in the dark...
It took me 0,24 seconds to have the idea to shoot it in the dark hahaha...
My brother in law bought it in the Natural History Museum in NY.
