Mushrooms on Driftwood Vertical Macro Study

A cluster of small bioluminescent mushrooms grows along a piece of water-dark driftwood in a vertical 9:16 macro frame, glowing teal gills and soft mint motes in the air creating a quiet, magical mood. The wood shows damp grain, weathered bark and soft moss patches, while the mushroom caps carry a satiny surface and the gills show delicate ribbing. Shallow depth of field keeps the foreground cluster sharp and the rest of the wood and background gently out of focus. Illumination reads as cool, subtle and low-contrast with a calm cool bias and a faint amber warmth on the caps, and a subtle outline glow to reveal form. The environment suggests a damp forest floor that fades to deep black and indigo tones, with small sparkling mint particles suspended in the air. Maintain about twelve percent clean negative space at the top of the frame and protect both lower corners as empty, dark, diffuse areas with no bright details inside those corners. Compose for a close, eye-level macro viewpoint that leaves clean vertical margins and a strong central focal cluster. Render as a photographic botanical still-life with natural textures, gentle gradation and a painterly sense of color harmony.
