Default One fun-guy close up

This wee fella is only 1 centimetre high and when laid flat on the floor taking the pic, I drew quite a crowd who seemed to think I was bonkers!

Hi Paul! the things we do for the sake of photography are really quite amusing..we stop at anything that catches our eye..may be strange to someone but i think they dont have that sense of awe and adventure of discovering the beauty of nature and life..

Magnificent shot Paul. That is one beautiful little mushroom and very nice shallow DOF which makes it more beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

cheers.

I love this capture of a little beauty. You are lucky I wasn't with you when you were taking this photo I have a habbit of taking photos of people taking photos (ask Steve he is often the subject), lol. I like the DOF.

Your little subject is so delicate and pretty, what a lovely colour. The only way to take a good picture of a mushroom is on your belly.

Paul, how beautiful! Wonderful colors, DOF and composition -- but mostly just beautiful!
