 * Weak Oppose. Good, but not great IMO. I know you have to get muddy for some of these shots and I appreciate what you go through, but I'm not convinced by the composition of this one. It's hard to tell whether this is tilted, whether you're looking down at it or side-on, whether it's growing on the side of a hill or on flat ground etc, so the context is a bit limited. Also, I'm not suggesting you alter reality by removing its natural environment, but could you not have shifted the bark/leaf at the base of it so it was a slightly more complete view?

 * Add leeches to the list :D. Camera is level, Taken side on (wouldn't be able to see the gills if it wasn't), side of a mild hill. I have moved debris before, but I don't think it is obscuring anything of significance in this case. How would you suggest that the context be improved without reducing the amount of detail in the mushroom itself? Noodle snacks (talk) 08:00, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Finding faults is easier than finding solutions... I'm not sure - perhaps find a more photography-friendly fungus? ;-) It wouldn't really work as a FP, but I could imagine this close-up macro shot being complemented by a wide angle shot, showing the greater environment, with a little 'zoom box' like this might aid in context. Just an idea. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 08:10, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 *  Weak support DOF could be better and composition is a bit messy but good EV --Muhammad (talk) 19:51, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose. I think the composition could be better. The vertical something (not sure) on the left is distracting, as is the twig on the mushroom. And FWIW, the license is less than ideal (now that we're migrating), although I don't think that's actionable. Are mushroom pictures really that much in demand? :P Kaldari (talk) 22:28, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
