Great detail, awesome BG and wonderful composition. All in all a great shot. I particularly like the way the lighting accentuates the delicate textures.

Hi Clive.
Awesome lighting and exposure with wonderful detail. Lovely composition with the wood on the diagonal and them growing from it, perfect DOF, they stand out beautifully against the dark background.

Hi Clive
What a happy family these Mycena look.
Their details and colours look so sharp and clear.
Actually I think they all look quite pretty sitting there on the Tea Tree.
