These mushrooms were only around 5cm tall as you can see from the mozzies on the stems. Interesting point on the photo, it was taken with my little point and shoot, it takes much better macros than the "good" camera.

Isn't it irritating that one has to compete with ones point-and-shoot when using the DSLR. I like this image a lot. It's nature at the personal level.

best of the bunch. The parts of the pic work well together. Green vs. grey(?); DOF of shrooms; curve of the grass...just a well taken picture.

Nicely done macro. I especially like the curve of the background, the dof, and the composition here. I'm not a fungus photo fan, really...but this one I like!

A really nice nature shot, but it makes you wonder - why are the mozzies biting the mushrooms? And how will the mushroom scratch themselves? ;>þ

This image has some interesting lines. It's almost like the image is two parts with a cool background being made up of the green moss and the (wonderfully blurred by DOF) grey rock (it is a rock isn't it?) consisting of the "canvas", and then part 2 is the mushrooms. The mushrooms feel 3D-ish because they jump off of the "canvas".

Funny, I've NEVER used the word canvas to describe an image at DPC, and I'm coming up on 2 years now. Just feels right for this image. ;^)

Smile and keep having fun!!!

Great shot... love the details of the mossy ground and the simple color, dof and composition. The little bugs are a great addition too!

What an amazing photo Sarah! The little bugs just make it because they give you a true perspective of what you are looking at. The composition is excellent!

I just love fungi, so any images I see of these, I always look at them. Wonderful DOF, and also amazing clarity here as well.
"WOW", I had to add another comment, as I have just seen the mozzies on the stem......
