 Yes, this is the same mushroom as my ribbon winner last week "Outcast". I replaced all the same sets of mushrooms in the background aswell, although most of them warped beyond recognition in the process of drying.

I used the same setup as the original, so you can read it up there:

From my perspective, this picture exudes emotion. The mushroom stem is like the neck of an old person, and I find the picture haunting and riveting.

That's so not fair, a Deja Vu on your own challenge! :P

Still a great picture, even though it's not fair. ;)

A deja-vu ON YOUR OWN IMAGE? That's cojones! But it's also thematically fascinating, as it shows the same setup in its decline. Congrats on 4th!

Outstanding and vibrant image in the way it cuts nto the viewer with such arresting detail with the strength of a Labuda execution! Bump.

Interesting mushroom shapes, good composition, lighting, sharpness. I think that it is even more interesting than the original. Should do well.

Boy! Are you Aleks? This is a real good, well done image. I hope this is done by a different person. If it is I should bump it up. Nice job. 8

This must be the one talked about in the threads about possibly being imitated by the same person who took the original. Oh well - either way we really liked this one alot. It's in my top 3 - not counting my own of course.

There's nothing special about this. It's just a reshoot of the exact same mushroom.
