I like the color of the moss. I love the crystals.  But this line of 
shrooms bugs me.  While my eye is looking at the centerpiece crystal, my 
brain is tugging me to the two shrooms with the same s-shaped stem.
Which then makes me aware that there is a line of shrooms.
I almost mentioned in the last version that I would change one of those 
two stems.  And it might not even be as noticeable this version because 
the foreground s-stem is in shadow.  But I can't unsee it to tell. :)

I'm not a big fan of the focal blur.  It looks fine on the background 
shrooms top-left, but it looks cheesy on the front left clump of shrooms.
