There was an area of the forest with a bunch of these mushrooms growing...not sure what they are called, but they were about 6-8 inches across with a faded pink wash on the top. Most were past prime, but this one was in good condition - but of course it was bent on itself 45 degrees revealing the underside instead. It looked pretty cool for an abstract type image, and I liked the sun peeking through in URC. I don't know if its just me, but if you stare long enough at the lines and slowly move back and forth across them you may start seeing some fluid movement in there....:cool:

Beautifully done, Daniel! I didn't think I was going to like the stem by the thumbnail but now that I see it it's as nice as the cap! Beautiful backlighting...and great DOF here.
Hey Daniel,
Great light and I love the way this flows from the stem and radiats outward! Great tecnique too to get the DOF needed to pull this off! Great job overall!
