A mushroom of course. Very creative and clever use of props to create something unusual and "not quite right". The image is a little too tall to be completely effective - the extra space redirects the eye away from the subject. Well done.

Sometimes a challenge provides a method to stretch the author's concepts and abilities in meeting subjective criteria. In this case, clearly the author thought it out and composed an outstanding image using standard macro techniques adding artistic offset and a different use of DOF to create what is viewed by this reviewer as simply perfect. From the nicely rounded effect of the magnifying glass frame to the detail in the leather material to the clever use of lighting to keep a smooth even tonal quality to the color this is an example of thinking out side the box and a brilliant use of everyday material to create a spectacular image. This should be a ribbon winner if not the top prize. Well done.

There are two images here and with a half crop with each showing the head of the snake and demonstrating the regularly shaped textures. It works as it is though and is a very worthy entry into the challenge.
