Mushrooms

[kmcnett0808]

So I'm very new to photography. I've had my camera for less than a month but I'm trying and need some feed back. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Let me know, Thanks Kelly

I really like the shot. I think it's beautiful, well-composed, with great colors. I would suggest bringing the exposure down a tad because it looks slightly over-exposed. You could also try to boost the saturation and contrast a tad too. Great that shot!

I find the clutter around the mushrooms abit distracting.

If I were you:
- I will remove some of the "clutter".
- Take this shot at eye level to the mushrooms, which will give you a different perspective.
- A shallow DOF to allow us to focus on the mushrooms.

My 2 cents.

i agree with Greenhare.
and also... when i posted my first photo, people who know much about photography told me that i need to pay attention not only to the subject but also the background... so i'm forwarding this knowledge to you

Hi Kmc and welcome to DPS. You have lauched in with a good shot here. Fungi is a great subject to prctice on. I find the twig going from top to bottom of the frame very distracting. I would have removed that. And these little guys look great from a very low viewpoint. May have to get a little messed up, and may get a few funny looks but worth it. Here's what I mean by way of an illustration. Subject position is poor on this but viewpoint is what I am trying to illustrate. PAUL

Thanks for all of your wonderful feedback, I'm gonna try and get back out there and see if I can take all of it and get a better picture. This has been an amazing learning experience for me already and it's only the first picture. So once again Thank all of you I am extremely grateful for all of your opinions.
