Is is hallucenogenic? Just kidding. I think the highlights are too blown out on the image, though I like the sepia tone. Also, image could be better focused. One thing I have discovered when shooting mushrooms is that they can be picked and moved around to get the best light to enhance the image. Just turning it over and photographing the bottam can create some nice compositions.

this image just really creeps me out for some reason. It was nicely done and such, but just creepy... which coming from me is sort of odd.

I like the composition and the shallow DOF doesn't bother me too much. Not so sure I like the really bright areas.

Comment by noraneko:
Very abstract - the shallow DOF is interesting, though maybe a few more details would enhance? Still, it has a certain artistic quality. The underside gills make the photo, I think.

I think this is lovely - quite like the strong grain, just the blown out ends of the fingers are an issue for me - otherwise very cute.
