While camping I came across this wonderful mushroom in the woods. It had spouted, grown to maturity and fallen over as it died. I would have removed the pine needle across it but I left it just as I found it. I adjusted the brightness and contrast a little and cropped only a touch. No flash.

I hope no fungi were injured in the composing of this shot. :) The quality of the image is pretty good, but the composition could maybe use something - just a little too central. And it would have been nice to have the blade of grass removed.

I really like the colors in this, and the neutral background is really enhanced with the hint of red of the toadstool (mushroom?). The clarity is amazing! I think the sharpness is really what makes this image, it's very lifelike, as if I'm actually there looking at it. Not sure about an uprooted shroom showing calm, but it's in laying down and that's good enough for me! Wonderful image.
