These mushrooms popped up amongst a group of about 15 of them. As far as i know they are highly poisonous, but they have fantastic colours!!! let me know what you think = )
Nice composition David, as well as a nice photo! I've seen these mushrooms around the site and they do look quite posionous. This is a great macro, I can see all the wrinkles as well as all the specks of dust! I'm looking forward to more photos David!
Good old amanita muscaria, a.k.a. fly agaric. Probably the single most common and most recognizable poison mushroom.
That's beautiful focus on the one in the foreground, and it's good to have the blurry one in the background, but I'd suggest a "rule of thirds" in which the line between the two is more toward the upper left instead of smack in the middle of the picture. If this is cropped from the original, you might want to give that a try.
