No matter how disgusting you make mushrooms sound I still love them. As a matter a fact this mushroom looks really yummy. Great capture on something you hate but something I love. Great lighting and I also like the water droplet in the grass.

Nice composition and detail. Nice job on the exposure, black and white being tricky to get right in the same shot. I think the eye could use a bit of dodging to really bring it out; I am something of a fanatic about wanting a creature's eyes to draw mine strongly.

Jon - Awesome image - clearly in the top of the class for this challenge. Wonderful lines and balance - i love the two groups of women getting ready to pass each other.

Very sneaky! A photo twisted by the headlines. You had me fooled! I guess if I had looked close enough, I would have recognized the street lamp there lol. Great catch and great title (but I think I would have amped up the richter scale a bit lol). Congrats on the great score, the top 20, and your new personal best!

Oh your reasoning is sooooo silly! Mushrooms are good for you, as is penicillin, which is a mold. Hmmmm.... ;)

I like the contrasting colors and textures, your dof is great, as it usually is. The little water droplet caught my eye, very nice touch. I guess for me, maybe a different angle on the mushroom, or not so close as to see what else is around. (although, there may not have been a darn other thing but grass, huh?)

hehe this sort of made me think of the crack in the floor someone installed in the Tate Modern as a work of art.
