I just love fungie of any kind, and this one is a beauty..... It has the most wonderful textures and colors.....I love it. My only siggestion would be to see it cropped tighter, and maybe with a square crop, as it would give it more impact.

I don't really like the colors in this.....they feel a bit harsh and hard on the eye.

The colors and detail on the funjus is quite fine and there are some very nice textures contrasts between it and the surrounding dross. The branches and the white above are very distracting to me. This might have been better in a horizontal orientation giving more emphasis to the fungus and its immediate surroundings and losing the area above the fungus in the image as is.

Its a good shot, but with the bland sky/background it's impact is lost. 5.

Excellent, the mushroom looks like it's huge compared to the trees in the background. Nice job composing it, 8

This is one of my favourite subjects, fungi. I have taken a lot of these over the last two months myself, but this is gorgeous.

I think this would have been better if it were cropped closer at the top. The tree branches and white sky don't add to the photo.
