Beautiful phototure. What post processing did you do if any to get the beautiful colours?

Thank you so much! The colours were pretty much already there. I just upped the saturation a little in Snapseed on my iPad.

Behind The Lens
Location
I was at my sister's house and had to pop back to my car to get something. I noticed the sun shining through a clump of toadstools in her front garden and went to grab my camera instead of whatever it was I was supposed to be getting!Time
It was taken at 3.47pm at the end of August.Lighting
I didn't need to do anything about the light, it was naturally beautiful and caught the toadstool perfectly.Equipment
I used a macro lens on my favourite camera - A Sony SLT-A55-VInspiration
I generally take my camera wherever I go as unexpected opportunities often arise. I hadn't expected to take a mushroom shot that day but as soon as I noticed the light, it was a given.Editing
I uploaded it to my iPad and used Snapseed to boost the saturation.In my camera bag
I like to carry my camera body, a 35-55 lens and a 70 - 300 lens and a 35mm macro lens too.Feedback
I would just advise anyone to take their camera with them whenever they can. I have missed a multitude of opportunities through simply forgetting to take mine with me and have caught many a shot because I remembered it - this is one of them.
