Composition (content)
Cool subject.
Composition is basically ok. The main subject, the mushrooms in the middle, are centered. I think that putting them more to the left or right in the frame would make it even more appealing to the eye. Given that there is that strange fungi covered piece of straw (?) at the right, that would be a postioning more to the left. Another option is to change the angle of shooting and bring it more to the right. I don't say cropping, because I like the wide 'landscape' view over the background.
The balance between the foreground with all the mushrooms and the background (wet blue/grey) is very nice and I like the curvy horizon.
The way all the items in this photo work together is really nice, it looks just like a real landscape. The white fungi does a good job playing snow. :)
The way you cropped this for the centered mushroom is good. The subject doesn't need a lot of space under and above it.
Background
Nice background. Looks like alufoil covered insulation material to me. The color creates a good balance with the color and tones of the foreground. The water droplets are a nice touch.
The use of the wide aperture to get this narrow DOF works out great, the blur makes the mushrooms in the background look really far away. Their relative size in macro mode also creates a lot of depth.
Camera Work (Technical)
See background.
Focus, sharpness, exposure, color etc are all excellent. The lighting is also very good.
Digital Processing (technical)
Needs no work.
My opinion
Very cool, well executed, could perhaps be better with off-center subject positioning. Check the composition tutorial for example.

| An interesting variation on the landscape theme - and one that I like. Nice composition (good focal point) and the depth of field helps this out. Well done. |

| OK, I wonder how many people on this site even know what Psychedelic means? Excellent DOF. What is the background? a window? |

| Very bizarre fungus! Neat macro, it does simulate a landscape, but the wall/window in the background with the water droplets gives it away. Very brave to submit for this challenge, I'm glad you did, but don't let a low score get you too down. I'm going with 7 as a good simulated landscape. O.K? Swash |

| This is an interresting picture, as it seems to be a macro-landscape, but I don't think that is what the challenge had in mind. |
