Great capture of the steam and I like the almost (?) soft-focus aspect.

I woulda put a black cloth over those stove controls in the background, I like the teapot by itself against a dark background better. Actually it wouldn't have to sit on the stove at all for this photo.

I like it alot. I think I might like a different angle a little better ... one that didn't include the knobs. <9>

Yum! I would be afraid to pick mushrooms though, my luck I would get the poisonous ones, LOL! This is a great shot, the light, the DOF is wonderful but the balance seems off to me, the big space in the middle is a bit of a distraction to me, maybe a little different cropping or angle of the shot would have fixe this for me. I started this at a 6 but am going up to an 8 because the overall shot is very good.

Very good B&W. Great capture of steam rising from the kettle. Lighting is done well. This is a very cleanly done image.

Great shot... for the Title you could have said "Mushroom Omelette, Starts Here" instead of that long text.

Colors are nice. Mushrooms look poisonous. Perhaps an ingredient but not something created out of a recipy book.

I really nice photo. Great DOF. I really like how the background is blurred. Nothing distracting there. I'm wondering if a little more lighting on the mushrooms might have benefitted this shot a bit. This side of the mushrooms seems kind of dark, whereas the background looks quite bright. Almost like you were shooting with the sun in front of you. Still a very nice photo though. ~Heather~

Those are some odd looking mushrooms. I like the cool blue of the one mushroom contrasting with the warm lighting and colors of the grass/leaves. Focus works well for me and the composition is nice. I covered much of the top half and found that I liked it better without that large expanse of soft focus background, the crispness of the focus on the foreground really draws my eyes, but I find them straining as they stray up to the top. Nicely done! 7
