This was a very tiny mushroom. Maybe a half inch in length. I know the picture might not portray that message but when I seen it it just seem like it was such a small thing in the middle of such a big and remote forest. I cropped in quite a bit because the surrounding bg looked to busy.

Those circles you see are where I tried to use lightroom to remove dirt from the mushroom. Not sure I really like this function in lightroom or I just don't have the hang of it. I think I will use photoshop for cloning instead.

I enjoy seeing all the variety of mushrooms that are out there. Great find to spot this little guy. To me the BG still is too busy. You could make a selection of the mushroom, inverse the selection, and then play around with blurring, darkening, using a filter, etc. on the BG selection. Or, when shooting, you could throw some black velvet behind the mushroom, clear away some debris, or change your shooting angle.. Just some ideas when BG's don't cooperate. :smile:
