Considering that this is the "adolescence" of the Amanita fruiting body, I'm wondering if your title is intended to have multiple meanings. Even if not, this is a superb botanical specimen requiring careful and/or lucky timing.
beautiful image, excellent control on the lighting. and now, as i have nothing else to offer, i'll just sit and enjoy it for a moment, if you don't mind. good luck in the challenge!
I like this a lot... good use of empty black space (and good job with your compression) I love the textures you see here... I LOVE MUSHROOMS :-). If I had to make a constructive criticism I would say that there might be a tad too much light on the bottom right... corner... although I like the amount that is hitting the stem. It would have been cute to see a tiny one of these mushrooms a little bit to the left. Nice solid photo! -9-
