*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A fairly interesting image that meets the challenge well.
Well done for spotting this well concealed fungi! In fact its so well concealed I'm pretty sure it will have escaped the attention of the many voters who will have given it too brief a look, though fortunately a good few did see and appreciate it. I think possibly moving or removing the dead leaf in front of the stalk would have helped to define its shape and whiteness more readily.
I'm wondering why you used such a small aperture? A large DOF was not really that necessary here, in fact a shallower DOF would have helped a lot to make the fungi stand out more against the leaf debris. The too small aperture will have made your shot a lot more difficult in forcing you to use a very slow shutter speed especially at ISO 50, a higher ISO too would have been perfectly acceptable here. Something like f8 at ISO 400 would have enabled you to hand hold it and produce a better end result.
Anyway, thanks for your submission and apologies for the delayed critique, as they say, 'better late than never', or at least I hope it is, Sid. Please feel free to reciprocate on any of my images, I would welcome your feedback… |
