My two (mush)room apartment.by
HavokComment by Toddh: Critique Club
Hi Yoshio, thanks for entering your photo for Home Sweet Home.
Firstly I will address the relevance issue. I don't see the relevance to the challenge and I think, based on your comment under the photrographer's comments, you probably agree. Yes, it is a creative view of the topic, but I think it is quite a stretch actually.
Having got relevance out of the way, I think this is quite a good shot. I feel that perhaps it would have been better to have had better focus on the closer mushroom. Being the bigger of the two mushies it would have served as a better focal point.
The shot itself has a nice flow to it and I like the shallow depth of field in terms of how the background makes the mushroom stand out. Perhaps a deeper depth of field would have allowed you to get all the mushrooms in focus, I doubt that at this distance you would have had to worry about losing the loss of focus in the background.
There is a nice symmetry with the log and the out of focus stick in the background. Overall it is a well composed image with just a couple of niggling little technical faults which would have made it a much stronger image.
Thanks again for sharing this image with us and keep shooting.
Well done,
Todd.
