Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM
Location: Harwich Port, MA, USA
Date: Nov 15, 2005
Aperture: f/32

Single overhead tungsten, white reflector fore for some fill. Object plane inclined to set shadows.

Levels, curves, hue/sat, neat image and edit/fade NI for slight softening, resize, USM, border.

Another in the "banal" series, almost certainly equally doomed :-)

While it certainly looks as if you used a single lightsource for the image, I don't think it adds drama, or is even an improvement for the image. Some more even lighting and lack of shadow would be better, IMO. I do like the arrangement and colors, and the background you used, it's not very typical for this kind of shot but it adds even more texture. ... reminds me that it's almost about time to make supper :)

Mushrooms. You have nice color. Shadows are lost somewhat with the dark background.

nice composition , maybe more directional light would add bit of dramatic feel

Bumping up the levels should help.

i like this a lot. i think that a different background wouldve been a bit better, but otherwise great job.

Too much yello from the incandescent light, shoulda adjusted white balance.
Black backdrop texture is too visible, try spot metering the paprika next time.
