Thanks Jack. I do see detail in the mushroom caps on my monitors, but I have two and to be honest I can never get them to quite match. One is very susceptible to angle of view changes. I also see huge differences between color managed programs and those that are not. I will probably print this image and will fine tune the color balance then.

I have been reading Ctien's post exposure - one of the free photo ebooks that Darren posted about a while back - and he describes making step tablets to carefully map out the different tonal ranges of different types of photo paper - I had to chuckle thinking of how so many images made now will never be seen except on screens, and how ultimately the photographer has no really control over how the image winds up being presented.

HI, mark, As I recall, I sent along my terms of approval of this image.
It has, rightfully, met with general approval, as it deserves to.
I do have a suggestion (comment), if I may.
My monitor allows virtually no detail to show on the mushroom caps.
I confess downloading the image and giving them a couple light bumps with the 
dodge tool.
I limited it to subtle, but took out the "black hole" effect.
Hope OK?

Jack

Thanks Dan. My wife and I were a few hours north of here, pulling flower
pots off her family grave plot in preparation for winter. I literally
looked down to grab a pot full of geraniums and saw the the leaf and
mushrooms, as they are. I have wander through the graveyard a bit for
this looking at other fallen leaves, but this was the best arrangement I
saw.

Wow, what a great composition for a "found" image.

Of course, it take an artistic eye to notice the lovely arrangement
and frame it to best effect, as you have done.
