'shroom

Nikon D300
Tokina 12-24mm @ 12mm

The ambient was strong from the side causing heavy shadows.
So I under-exposed the ambient by one stop and brought itt back up with a flash setting of 0.

Excellent composition and perspective, James. Feel like the kids from 'Honey, I shrunk the kids' :D. Love the colors and the details. Thanks for the exposure tip.

James, I love the angle you used to take this. The image has a 3D effect and your exposure looks great.:)

Froggie, Love the choice of perspective and focal length and the use of flash. What aperture? If you were not working in a protected area I would have picked the little red flower. :)

What a fun image! I also feel like I'm in the HISTK's movie. Very nice use of a wide angle to do the work of a macro.

Very nice lighting and perspective, James. I kind of wish the BG trees weren't there so that the mushroom would be framed entirely by the sky, but no big deal. Well done.
