Lovely photograph, love the soft colours and the whole feel of this photo. If it was my photo, I would have cropped a little more off the foreground, which IMO would put even more focus on the mushrooms.

I have cropped as suggested..

The crop really helped this image be even more impressive. The subtle colors of the log in the foreground is impressive, and the focal depth is spot on, with just enough of the image being crystal clear, without too much blur. The toadstools look like they could be animated, with happy little faces. Well done!

Still a great photo, but now I think you have cropped too much.

I kinda like this crop..

well done author !

great shot author

They can be mean suckers...What a photog will go through in order to get the "perfect" shot! Excellent result, it was worth your suffering!

Thanks...I have never been actually attacked by a goose before, the better photo was by the tourists next to me....getting the shot of me screaming like a girl and running from a bird....LOL!

THAT'S a photo I wish I could see! LOLOL!

Mossy...I KNOW they took the shot...LOL, I would have...to be sure...if I had thought of it....I would have made arrangements to see it myself....LOL

BTW...for any concerned...they DO actually bite hard, it's been a week and i STILL have the bruises on my leg...

You were too busy trying to escape...priorities, don't 'cha know!
Did the goose hiss at you? I think that's almost as scary as when they attack...

Heck no...it hissed...I got off 2 shots and it ran at me ....LOL the darned thing bit me several times over about 20 meters...it was truly pissed! LOL

Normally I have a tele...this case I had a 17mm lens, so to get this shot I was just about 8 inches away...LOL

well done, but I think it should have been in last weeks 'Extreme danger' contest. LOL

great.. feel it living.

This is really good, great angle, colour and detail. Well done.

There is no ground reference point, so it is hard to tell how low you are in this photograph. The flowers could be 2 - 3 feet tall for all we know...

lol MossyB you kill me. Ok.. with the thin stalks that these flowers have they would have to be low to the ground to keep the strength to be able to hold up the flower head. If these were 2-3 ft tall the flowers would droop cause the stalks aren't thick or strong enough to keep them straight up with the size of the flower head.

Author: Great job! Love the colors and depth here. Really nice composition

Beautiful capture Author I agree totally with friiskiwi and MnM ,good luck on your entry

lol of course what do I know... the stalks could get thicker as they grow.

Too bad about the stalks in front. They create a slight visual "barrier" to the eye, impeding the inviting path behind them. The blurry DOF compounds the stopping effect.

good try, but it's not quite working, agree with Mossy.

yeah the barrier is some what obstructing the view but still good idea !

Very cool shot, the only thing I think might have been better is if you moved in a little bit more in to the corn field, as to avoid the foreground plants.

good one
