Nice find George, the fungi are really lacking POP and it seems a little underexposed to me both on phone and laptop. Was flash used on this shot as I can't see the EXIF detail on Flickr.
Also the grass at the front is a little distracting I find as it is in super sharp focus and the fungi appear to be on the back plane of focus. (so still in focus)
If used flash then diffusion is working and possibly against you by blocking the light. It is a fine line but when you get it you get it
Hope thats not too much of a downer and like I said its a lovely find.
My main ball park is commercial & industrial advertising so if you should ever venture into that and have a go maybe I'll return the compliments LOL.
Yes, I can see that the image is slightly lacking in light and yes, I agree that the grass is still a bit intrusive but what a lovely capture of the texture of the caps. I have only made one attempt so far at Fungi - I hope I am getting close to where you are after 3 attempts. Stick at it George.
Nice capture as said the light is a little flat- also I would have removed the right hand Fungi as 3 looks better than a group of 4
they are Angels Bonnet by the way
