there's too much dirt (thingies) next to te object (sorry can't seem to find the right words..twig?? ) and I do get what you're saying but wouldn't it have been better to use a heartshaped object in this title?

I like this shot, would like to see it in colour to see if the B&W is an improvement, also it's a shame the guys not sharp like the truck

The man is out of focus, he should be in focus, not the SUV, IMHO.

focus is a bit soft on Uncle Sam

Clever title. Uncle Sam looks pretty miserable out in the snow. I think a tighter crop, with some area cut from the left and top, might make this even stronger.

Comment by manish:
I wonder if it would have looked much more vibrant in color as you have baloons,cars and signages all going for it. The focus seems to be a lil wayward on the car rather than uncle sam but a good composition nonetheless

Wow I guess voters really did pick up on the mushroom not being a vegetable. I really didn't even think about that when I was voting. But based on the comments I wonder if people really didn't vote as high because of this.

"Gazing upon our own reflection" is a good entry into the Fruit and Vegetable Challenge, heck all the mushrooms I buy are in the produce department. I really think your lighting allows this image to stand out. The lighting really gives us more depth to the focal point. I also really like the placement of the focus, not a typical shot, very nice. I think your choice for the background is awesome because it really is something different. I am not sure if you used the screen for lighting purposes but it really adds a nice feature to the shot.

Overall I think this is a very strong shot, maybe the score would have been a little higher is the challenge was something like The Produce Section, or Mushrooms. Very nice work as usual.

I love this, especially the separation of the mushrooms from the background. They pop out of the picture. I like the colors in the reflection and the texture the screen adds. I gave it a 10 and have no problem with mushrooms in a veggie challenge -- I put them in my veggie omelets.

I adored this shot and gave it a 6, even though I thought it DNMC. I'm usually not the DNMC police, but it is not a fruit or a vegetable. This would definitely make top ten in a fungus challenge though! LOL!

Dude, you were totally robbed. Believe it or not, this was my top pick for this challenge. Really!
