A humble mushroom

I long for warmer days so I was going through some pictures from this fall and found this.

Canon 5DMII, Canon 100mm Macro non-IS, ISO 100 .6 sec at f/16 with tripod and focusing rail.

C&C would be great!

Excellent image of this perfectly shaped mushroom. Perfect DOF, great eye level perspective, beautiful color, and a nice clean complementary BG. Excellent in all respects. :toast:

I agree with Scott; this really is an excellent photo of a mushroom. Wonderful comp, lighting, great focus on the mushroom and a wonderful background. Love it, Hali!

Love the POV and the color of the mushroom against the smooth BG. And the contrast with the rough base. Excellent comp, exposure and focus.
