Clever shot....normally I only like shrooms in sketti and meatballs....But this a great shot and they look gigantic!!! I like this alot...its a keeper!
The subject works well because the s seem to pair themselves togethor, making the image rather symmetrical as well as humorous. The sky looks a little abstract, and so does the grass (which works well for the image), but I am guessing that is mostly due to color manipulation. In some areas, the color doesn't seem quite vivid enough to match, but then when I look at it as a whole, you did a pretty splendid job. Your originality is inspiring...too bad it can only be original once... :-)
Making this image seem unnatural is key, and you definately have a good start. I do have a few ideas though, and if it is ok with you, I would like to try my hand on it. I wouldn't be able to produce anything like Cain's work, but who knows? Email me the original and largest version of this as you have if you are interested, but if not, who knows?
