Long Journey

When I saw how this came out, it made me think of a group of families traveling through a mountain pass. See how some of the mushrooms are bent protectively over the little one, and how their caravan seems to stretch long past the edge of the photo?

I'm kind of disappointed in the color quality and sharpness, though. I'm guessing it's a matter of not enough light for my point-and-shoot to handle it properly, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
