I was taken by the fine arrangement and color of this family of shrooms in Cades Cove, GSMNP, Tennessee.  The forest canopy provided the soft filtered light.   Fuji XPro2, 60mm Macro.

Jeffrey, these are so cute and good looking that I want to pet them...  The colors, sharpness, and shape of the cluster are terrific.  You've got enough background to put the shrooms nicely in context.  Well done.

Hi Jeffrey,

       This is very nice--subject contrasts well with dark BG.  Entire subject is in focus and the mushrooms have enough color to warm up the scene.  Well donedevil.........................Jim

Hello Jeffrey,
A lovely grouping of mushrooms. The details and color are superb. This has a three dimensional look.

That is a real nice bunch of mushrooms. I like the soft light and the subtle shadows. Beautiful colour combinations. I only wish there was either less or more of the green mosses. Nevertheless a great image.

Beautiful composition.  It reads from bottom to top and is stopped in the frame by the largest specimen.  Very nice.
