Lovely comp, exposure. Frame worthy. Also very 'adaptable' - this could work as is, or with a vertical or square crop and still look fab.
Well made. If I'm peeping - might be seeing some a hint of noise or artifacting around the stem...can't be sure though.

Nice shot Bambi! I like the DoF for sure in this one.

Beautiful. It really pops against that smooth blurred background.

[Bambi]

thank you. Marko I'm not sure if it's noise or the texture of the shroom.

Very nicely composed Bambi, and love the contrast in this one also.

What a cool looking mushroom!!

A cool find and nicely taken. I hope you don't mind but I think it might be stronger had you moved to f8 @ 1/40th or some such to give you a slightly deeper depth of field. Really, though, a great find and I really like the image. Overall, well done.
