I deliberately used a long-focus lens instead of a macrolens, to photograph this mycena sp. growing on a pinecone. I'm quite happy about the result.

Nikon D80 @ 420 mm, iso 320, f8 1/200 sec from a beanbag.

And so you should be.. that is very nice... only very minor nit and I don't think there is anything you could have done about it, is the two very small OOF mycena to the front of the main group of three...
but I just love viewing this image.

Yes this is very nice.
I don't normally go a bundle on large OOF forgerounds but it works well in this one I reckon.
