Chestnut Mushrooms

Greetings from the Critique Club

This looks like it was your first Challenge entry on DPC. I will attempt to give you some comments that may or may not prove helpful to you.

From a technical point of view, I believe this is a good well lit image. I like the composition and the depth of field choice is good. I noticed some commented they would prefer to see the focus on the mushroom heads. I don't necessarily agree with those comments, I like the fact this is a bit different.

As far as your score goes, I believe the primary reason this scored just around 5 is due to the challenge topic. The challenge was for images of cooking, not food and I strongly believe that you have suffered due to that. In my opinion, had the challenge been for Stock: Food, then you would have scored a lot higher. To me, certainly the image itself does not portray the art of cooking, but it is certainly a good food shot.

Hope this helps a little.

At a loss to know how this didn't score over 6. I think it is a wonderful image.

Steve, immediately recognised this one from the street sc. (I seem to recall you did a triptych). Not sure if you have a B&W version, but probably I would prefer it in B&W if you had. Nice one, although I believe it should have scored higher :)

Deb, best accolade of all, to have someone think it is one of yours!

Can't imagine why this didn't score much higher. One of my faves.
