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.
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. :)

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.
