    Beautiful. I like the fact you found two together and i also like how soft the image is but without losing all of the sharpness.

    Great angle. The best macro shots usually require getting dirty. Shooting mushrooms means getting muddy, as the best time to shoot is right after the big rains.

    I agree with what all's been said above - the shot is very nice and the lighting is perfect for the subject. The subtle color gradient on the mushroom caps comes across really well. Very nice.

    They look like family, like they are meant to be, a parent and child.
    The larger one is looking after the smaller one.

    I love the feel of this image, it's warm, it looks good too.

    Yep this is definitely a FEEL GOOD Shot for sure David clap.gif

    Hey Phil - no reflector at all. Ambient light deep in Muir Woods. Took one shot and the did +2/3 EC (aperture priority) to lighten it up a bit. Total exposure was 6 seconds @ f/11, ISO 200, EF-180 f/2.8 lens with a 1.4 extender.
