I think that you could do more, compositionally, with these subjects. #1 is centered and too close-up for my preference. The top and the stem of the mushroom are out of focus, which isn't necessarily bad, but at the mushroom occupies most of the frame, it forces your attention directly to the in-focus body, which isn't that interesting on its own.

I'd consider backing out a bit. There are lovely colors in the surrounding leaves which can add to your composition and the out of focus background mushroom could be used to balance the main subject (or hidden as suggested above by WesternGuy).

I hope this is useful.

Thank you for your comment. I will bear this and all other comments in mind and think about these when taking future shots
