Description
If you've not noticed yet, one of my consistent themes in photography is the "small world," so to speak; close ups of tiny things in nature. Honestly, I think sometimes the small things give you more of the big picture. This photo is called miniatures, as I found a very small (think finger-width) stick covered perfectly with tiny mushrooms on a bed of green. It looked not onlike the towering but dead tree it had come from, which was also covered in mushrooms. I wanted to photograph the tree, but all of the shots I took of it just weren't right somehow; poor contrast mostly, I suppose. However, the tree's perfect miniature, dark brown and dying accented with bright white mushrooms on a bed of green makes for a very nice photo that once more intermingles the living with the dead.
