Now this is the shot and composition I was going for in my previous image. But the light refused to cooperate that day, or I was using the wrong camera settings. So I went out today and re-shot the image and had no bright light to worry about. It was shot with a slight tilt raising the stump on the right-hand side. Messed around slightly with the colour levels and a little judicious cropping later and this is the result. Hope you enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Wendell - The lighting gives the mushrooms a bit of a glow on top. Very cool! Thad

Excellent title Wendell. Those aren't those "magic mushrooms" I've heard about, are they, because they seem to be glowing in the dark. Just a splendid photo of these little guys. I like that little one off by itself on the right giving the speech? Great contrast and color to bring this scene to life. Excellent photo.

I with Roger I like the little guy too and I bet he would make a better governor than the ones we have running for the spot now. LOL

I adore how shrooms grow on tree stumps. Such a beautiful thing. I always wonder how many kinds are edible too. But I've never learned about that and I should, as a lot of them grow here in Oregon. Looks like you've found yet another great photo subject. Nicely done Wendell. Verena

It is a wonderful picture in my opinion. I love the leader(the mushroom that is aside from the crowd)and the texture of the tree trunk...
