I like these mini scapes but I haven't got one right yet, I think I'm getting closer, but rain keeps stopping play!!

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. :thumb

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. :D

:rofl 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.

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