We took a stroll through Finch Arboretum in Spokane today. Here is one photo from the afternoon.

Thanks for looking, Ron

    Beautiful shot! Just wonderfully exposed and composed. Great eye for lighting and brilliant perspective! The only very minor critique I'd have is you may want to clone out that little bit of lens flare on the right side.

    Thanks for the comments all. I did not even see that blue spot until it was mentioned. I did correct that and also took care of the hotspot on the largest mushroom. Included is the updated version.

    I agree with the others,. but perhaps you could look at the crop. The shroons are dead center.

    Ron,
    What a lovely capture. I keep expecting to see a fairy at any moment. I do like your final edit.
    Cheers,
    Colby

    The large mushroom is dead center, but I think there's a nice line from the two leaves in the foreground to the mushrooms to the sun that draws the eye nicely into the photo. Certainly a matter of taste, but I think the composition works just fine here.

    I like the eye level! It's different for sure! The colors are beatiful!
