Support, great shot of a rather interesting looking puffball. I like the fact there are three, I like the way they are nestled among various plants without being obscured. J Milburn (talk) 18:11, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support I think the depth of field isn't quite as good as I'd like, but appreciate better may not be possible. This would perhaps have been even better if one of them had been chopped in half to show the inside. Terri G (talk) 20:02, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
