Your opinion? Collared Earthstar fungus (Geastrum triplex)

Hi mushroom fellows,

this picture needed some preparations, so that I had the spore cloud on the picture. We (my friend and me) used a syringe with water to let water drops fell down on the cap.
At the same time I've taken the shots. Unfortunately it was really dark and cloudy and I wasn't able to increase the shutter speed even more.
