Beautiful--good texture-nice cropping possibly not sharp enough

Texture, yes, but odd choice of composition. Can't really look at it for too long before I have to move on . . . sjgleah 3

A little over-exposed looking but a good idea for a subject.

A very interesting picture, but one that could be improved by not blowing out the highlights on the mushroom.

Comment by FranziskaLang:
good idea for texture. the framing has a couple of distracting items in it (the blades of grass sticking up behind the mushroom, and the grass at the bottom (i would've tried to crop a little higher to eliminate that, or maybe a portrait format just on one of the mushrooms? the top of the mushroom is also a little blown out with the light. does your camera allow spotmetering? or other manual controls that would allow you to bracket a shot and then pick the best one? -- gr8photos (4)

Total Score7

For those that are just learning, like me.

Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.

Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.

Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.

Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.

There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.

Good luck!

If grass is making the photo untidy, just pinch it away. Be careful not to touch the 'shroom as they are delicate, and the marks show.

A bit too much light in this shot.
