Manoj:
Good to see you posting again. Well I like this image a lot and know how difficult it is to take this little subject. The dof is fine. I usually don't mind a little speck of dust on flora but the speck just on the edge of the stem of the tallest mushroom seem to give the impression it is cut so may be you may want to clone that. Otherwise no suggestion.

I feel really small looking up at these mushrooms! :smile: The comp is attractive and I like your color palette here.

Manoj - What a large family of mushrooms !!. Love everything about this, particularly the foreground green wash.

The only observation I have is that your point of focus is not quite obvious - it perhaps is between the big two on the right.

Ram stole the comment I was going to make ( :wink: ) re: the point of focus. I would like to see at least one of the 'shrooms tack sharp and the others OOF to varying degrees. Regardless I do like this as the ground level view is very strong and puts the viewer at the subject's level.....we see what they "see".
