It’s a nice shot Paul but I don’t thinks it’s anything special. I find the cobweb distracting as well as the bright green background. An Autumnal background would have been much nicer, might not have been possible. I find photographing mushrooms very difficult myself, much harder than it looks. I’m still waiting to get a good shot myself but I’ve had fun trying.
I like this just as it is. A very nice picture showing the mushroom in its natural surroundings cob web and all. I like how you have processed it, just the right amount of saturation, lovely colours, all in all a very nice pic
The image was shot in a pine forest, so the the choice of background was pretty limited, no matter what angle I looked the background was pretty much the same.
I like the cobweb too, and to be honest I could not see when I was looking at the mushrooms, I was first aware of it when I downloaded it to the computer.
This is my first attempt at photographing anything like this, do you think that the application of a true macro lens would change it in any way?
