Great color and depth, Graham. I like the OOF foreground and the sharp fungi. Well done!

Very good looking collection of fungi, Graham.  The shrooms have nice color and texture. I like the eye level perspective, and the light is spot on.

Those are some great looking mushrooms, Graham.  This view shows off their details very well, plus they look nice and fresh.  The colored leaves add extra interest.

I really like the composition, color and detail in this image. It is well seen and photographed.

We did have a lot of mushrooms earlier this fall in the Netherlands. Not always easy to find such a nice intact group. An easily countible number makes a picture quiet/calm/peaceful (do not know the right word) imo. Good light from above and below makes them stand out from the background. I might be tempted to leave out the green leaf in the ulc. But I like it very much.

Nice one, Graham. Good light, comp and detail. I might be tempted to crop from below, just to the top of the green leaf, if only to take out some of the OOF stuff. Otherwise a fine picture!devil
