Lucy, nice shroom. I might have tried shooting this from the backside to keep the ground foliage in the rear of the mushroom. Light is flat so I don't think it would matter what side you shot it from. Maybe that side wasn't as pretty...I wasn't there... :jump:

Really like the low angle and detail in this one Lucy. Slightly moving to the left may have eliminated the tree, but don't know what else you had to deal with. I would have just plucked the blade of grass on the left. Nice colors too.

Wonderful angle of view here, Lucy. I wish the one blade of grass or leaf was not in the way, but still a nice take on this shroom. :cool:

What a cool looking mushroom! I like this close-up view of all the interesting details and texture. As others said, I wish the left grass blade wasn't there, and also that chunk of dark matter on the right edge of the image. Very nice low POV; makes one feel like a bug viewing the mushroom. Looks like you are having lots of fun with that new macro lens, Lucy. :smile:

The close framing makes it seem GIGANTIC Lucy :smile:
Very nice details, textures, exposure, and natural color :toast:
