Welcome to the challenges, Henry! So glad you made it! Great mushroom shot with perfect depth of field and wonderful square crop. Definitely on topic, looking right down on the top of it. The lighting is really nice although I would have liked to see the deep red at the very top of the mushroom or was it really whitish like that? Good work! ~Sharon

Welcome to the challenges Henry! Of your 2 mushroom images, this one seems the most on-topic for "down" although the other one is very nice also. I like the very shallow DOF here - nice shot. CJ

Sorry about the double comment. I think I hit the back button and then then forward button and it re-entered the comment. First timer here, again, sorry.

Yes, after some research, I understand it is supposed to produce some sort of hallucinogenic effects if smoked or eaten!

A perfect fungi. I've never thought of using that angle. PeteH
