Extremely cute and you can fantasize all you want. Love the colors and the way you grouped them. (Well, I know they grow like that).
It is a trick to have a good shot instead of a cluttered shot.
More...please, give us more.
On second thought, how about cropping just around the pale browns?
So they fill the frame completely? How would that look?

Great shot! I love the fact you got so low.

I like the color range. Perhaps a bit closer and lower? I think you're pretty
close to getting a great shot.

The crop works. The original did look too cluttered. Bummer about the mud... but then, without rain, there wouldn't be any mushrooms.

not to mention the nice skin you will get from rolling in the mud.

Arthus Morris of www.birdsasart.com has a great picture of himself laying in the mud up to his elbows and holding a 500 or 600mm lens just above the water in the mud. Gilles Martin in "Macrophotography - Learning from a Master" shows a picture of himself with a camera and macro lens submerged in pond water to his chin while wearing a helmet with three electronic flash units to photograph water lillies.

SO, Gubbs, you are in very, very good photographic company. I highly recommend Gilles Martin's book - it is an excellent demonstration of world class macrophotography and how artistically it can be accomplished.

I had only sticky needles of pine when I took the shot of the one following.

Good shot. Provides me with some food for thought.

I'm gona go against the group opinion. I like the original best.
