 The mushroom you see here is no bigger around than the eraser on the end of a standard #2 pencil. I really like how all the elements of this came together. Did you notice the water drop on the far right side of the photo.

Post Processing:
This is a 6 exposure HDR made with EssentialHDR. In photoshop I did some very minor adjustments.

Thanks!

that DOF looks extremely shallow, what lens did you use? It's almost too shallow for my liking
