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.

Simplicity, but extremely complicated by design.
Excellent control of the lighting. ((9))

Nice, but would have left this idea for a challenge where it should win - on best of 2004 not really much lasting appeal. 7

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-

From one mushroom photographer tto another ...

This is great - though I would have tried to stop the slightly overdone highlights, myself.
