I really like this image. I don't think the DOF is super shallow (more of a bokeh use of shallow DOF), but the contrast between the berries and the toadstools is great. 8

A stunning photo with great colors, great foreground sharpness and wondeful depth. Maybe just a bit more depth in the forground? A truly special photo. Highly rathed.

If all the mushrooms where in focus, it will be a perfect shot.

The toadstools and the berries make a nice combination however the foreground berries are distracting (to me). The DOF is perfect though for the ones in the background. Good shaped definition and colour.
